09:45 IL: It would appear that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak are waiting for someone to be killed or seriously injured chas v’sholom for the rockets fired from Gaza into southern Israel continue despite the stern warnings heard by the senior ministers last week.
At least 15 rockets landed in southern townships during the night and this morning, Monday 13 Cheshvan 5773 they are continuing. Sirens sounded in Sderot, the Eshkol Regional Council, Ashkelon Coast Regional Council, Ashkelon Industrial Park in the past hour, and B’chasdei Hashem were continue to witness miracles and the rockets are hitting open areas.
For residents in southern Israel they are trying to understand how government and military leaders and commanders can continue to stand by while limiting the response to air force sorties when the latter clearly is not a deterrent that halts the attacks into civilian population centers.

Sad to say but how about a call from our Imperial leader President Obama telling them to stand down with a fair measure of pressure. One more week to an election and our leader would not want some “rash” action by Israel to uppset the applecart.I bndeed he did not even think it important enough to issue the usual poutrage release.
