While Qassam rockets rain on Sderot, The Independent’s Donald MacIntryre explains away the city’s suffering:
The most recent barrage was a Hamas-led response to the explosion which killed seven members of the same Palestinian family on a Gaza beach 10 days ago and for which a military investigation concluded Israel was not responsible….
A total of five residents have been killed by Qassams in the last five years. While the toll is dwarfed by the far greater loss of Palestinian civilian life in Gaza, residents said nerves were at breaking point.
