UPDATE #3, SUNDAY:
AT THE RISK OF INVITING THE “EVIL EYE” OR “MURPHY’S LAW” IT HAS BEEN SURREAL QUIET IN MY TOWN. WITH ALL THE ROCKETS BEING LAUNCHED AND TARGETING SO MANY AREAS, I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE I HAVE NOT HAD TO GRAB MY KEVLAR HELMET ONCE SINCE ARRIVING HOME AFTER WORK, I EVEN MANAGED TO TAKE SHORT NAP. LITTLE THINGS TAKE ON GREAT IMPORTANCE UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.
THE IDF HAS INVESTIGATED THE BEIT HANOUN UNWRA SCHOOL INCIDENT, THEIR CONCLUSION, ONE ERRANT IDF MORTAR ROUND HIT THIS SCHOOL YARD, BUT COULD NOT HAVE KILLED ANYONE, AS THE SCHOOL YARD WAS EMPTY AT THE TIME. AGAIN, I REPEAT SHRAPNEL IS A FORENSICALLY IDENTIFIABLE QUANTITY, JUST LIKE OUR FINGER PRINTS, AND HAMAS HAS NOT PRESENTED ANY SHRAPNEL THAT WAS REMOVED FROM THOSE KILLED OR WOUNDED. A SINGLE 81MM MORTAR ROUND DOES NOT HAVE THE EXPLOSIVE CAPABILITY TO KILL AND WOUND THE NUMBER CASUALTIES CLAIMED BY HAMAS, BUT AN ERRANT ROCKET FIRED BY HAMAS TERRORISTS DOES HAVE THE EXPLOSIVE CAPABILITY TO CA– USE THIS NUMBER OF CASUALTIES.
THE FAMILY OF THE SOLDIER HAMAS CLAIMS TO HAVE CAPTURED, AFTER REVIEWING ALL THE FACTS PRESENTED BY THE IDF HAVE ACCEPTED THE FACT THEIR SON IS NO LONGER AMONG THE LIVING. MAY THEY BE COMFORTED KNOWING HE IS NOT A PRISONER OF THIS EVIL AND CRUEL ORGANIZATION.
ROCKET AND MORTAR ATTACK/S:
9:25PM/2125HRS, NO COLOR RED ALERT WARNING, ESHKOL REGIONAL COUNCIL, TWO MORTAR ROUNDS IMPACTED IN OPEN AREAS, NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE REPORTED.
9:33PM/2133HRS, COLOR RED ALERT, ESHKOL REGIONAL COUNCIL, TWO ROCKETS IMPACTED IN OPEN AREAS.
11:20PM/2320HRS, COLOR RED ALERT, ESHKOL REGIONAL COUNCIL, NO REPORT.

HAVE A NICE DAY/EVENING…..TOMORROW, A DIFFERENT DAY, PROBABLY THE SAME SH-T…..***************
