Het is jaren niet zo rustig geweest in Sderot en omgeving, en het merendeel van de 750 raketten en mortieren die afgelopen jaar zijn afgevuurd vielen tijdens de Gaza Oorlog. De ruim 250 die er daarna vielen zijn een historisch laag aantal. In 2008 werden er meer dan 3.300 afgevuurd. Ik kan mij niet aan de indruk onttrekken dat er enig verband is met operatie Cast Lead, al is het in de mode te zeggen dat geweld alleen maar meer geweld uitlokt en je guerrillaoorlogen niet kunt winnen.

IAF Struck Weapon Manufacturing Facility and Two Smuggling Tunnels in the Gaza Strip
Overnight, Israeli aircraft successfully targeted a weapons-manufacturing facility in the southern Gaza Strip and two smuggling tunnels in the Rafah border area. The attacks were in response to the recent firing of rockets into Israeli territory.
Approximately 15 rockets and mortar shells were launched at Israel during the past month. In total, more than 250 rockets and mortar shells were fired at Israel since the end of Operation Cast Lead and more than 750 hit Israeli in the whole of 2009. Throughout 2008, prior to the operation, over 3300 rockets and mortars were fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel.
The IDF will continue to respond to any attempt to disrupt the calm in Israel's southern communities.
