The Drums are out..(here we go again) May 18th, 2007


Out they come from the "boydem" (Vernacular Hebrew word for semi-attic space), the wardrums are being dusted off.

I'm waxing the special war time Muqata banner...and Israel's gearing up for it's latest war. (Robert Avrech; Please coin a new name for this war...)



11:48 AM Heavy IDF artillery returns to Gaza.

11:44 AM Kol Yisrael Israel Radio reports of Palestinian wounded in Gaza near thr Islamic University due to ongoing Hamas-Fatah fighting.

11:17 AM Hamas announces that just as Israeli citizens are fleeing Sederot, soon the residents of Ashkelon will be fleeing as well. (editoral note from the Muqata; We had better win this war)

11:12 AM The stats that run our lives. As of now, 12 Qassam rockets have landed around Sederot this morning, which makes 106 this week.

11:10 AM Aussie Dave is war blogging as well. Check him out here (he started covering this war earlier than me...about 3 days ago)

The IDF has taken up positions in Northern Gaza on the ruins of Dugit, a settlement destroyed and evacuated during the Disengagement.


11:08 AM Taking cover from Qassam rockets in Sederot


10:41 AM Nine Qassam Rockets hit Sederot this morning, including direct hits on a gas station, private home and apartment building. Minor injuries reported.

Olmert showed up last night at a shul in Sederot. After he left the shul received a direct Qassam hit.

I guess I'll be grilling chicken this afternoon.

Update you soon,

Jameel








Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael

  2. Just to note, I've been posting first hand reports of a friend in Sderot, including him GETTING HIT by a Kassam w/video cameria in hand.

    Latest, here.
    Video & IM of getting hit, here.
    House next store destroyed, here.

    NOBODY is really reporting impact to the population. Those links above have it, real time.

  4. Sorry Jameel, while I may be going out on a limb here, I don't think we are heading to war so quickly.
