Palestinians fire five Qassam rockets at targets in Israel

Palestinians fired five Qassam rockets at targets in Israel on Tuesday evening, none of which caused any injuries or damage.

Three rockets landed near the western Negev town of Sderot, one landed south of Ashkelon, and the fifth landed in an Israel Defense Forces base north of the Gaza Strip, Israel Radio reported.

Earlier Tuesday, an Israeli Border Policeman was moderately wounded in a military operation in a village near the West Bank town of the Jenin.

Palestinians in the village of Yamun opened fired on the force which had surrounded the home of a wanted militant, wounding the policeman. He was evacuated to the Haemek Hospital in Afula.

4. You're right, I keep forgetting that little problem of whatever

the Palestinians do is okay. Rockets? No problem. Suicide bombers? No problem. However there are empty condemnations a few times a week from Abbas.
