GuardianIn The Guardian‘s update on Qassam shellings, reporter Mark Tran inexplicably writes:

The rocket attacks, which caused no reported injuries, were interpreted by some as a Hamas attempt to broaden the internal conflict….

Yet an AP report also picked up by The Guardian’s web site writes:

More than 20 rockets were fired on the town on Wednesday, wounding two people. The attacks came a day after rockets injured five other residents and destroyed several homes in the town – along with any remnant of a sense of security here.
