Haaretz reports today that on Thursday morning, Palestinians fired a Qassam
rocket that landed adjacent to a factory in the strategic Ashkelon
Industrial Area located south of Ashkelon. Another rocket hit in open area
near Zikim, also south of Ashkelon.

Yossi Yehoshua reports in Yediot Ahronot today that for the past two weeks
the IDF has not responded to Palestinian rocket attacks per the instructions
of the Olmert administration. Yehoshua explains that the Olmert
administration wanted to keep things calm during the PLC elections..
