MORE ROCKETS - MORE SHIPS

July 4, 2010. 161 humanitarian aid trucks carrying goods, gas and fuel crossed into Gaza Strip. The Kerem Shalom Crossing to Gaza will expand operations & accommodate 250 trucks per day, compared with 90 per day before June 20. Dual-use controlled items (concrete, steel parts) are allowed entry into Gaza as part of relief projects for the Gaza population. Controlled items are those used by terror organizations to produce explosives, i.e. specific chemicals, gas tanks, drilling equipment, etc.
July 1, 2010. The Israel Air Force struck a weapons manufacturing facility in the northern Gaza Strip in addition to a terror tunnel and terror activity site in the southern Gaza Strip overnight. The terror tunnel was dug approximately one kilometer away from the security fence and is intended for infiltrating into Israel and executing terror attacks against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians. The attack is in response to the rocket that was fired at Israel and damaged a factory in the Sderot Negev Regional Council on Wednesday morning, June 30th 2010. Over 90 rockets and mortar shells have been fired at Israeli territory since the beginning of 2010, and over 330 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel since the end of operation Cast Lead. The IDF remains committed to protecting the citizens of Israel and will continue to act against terror. The IDF holds Hamas solely responsible for terror emanating from the Gaza Strip.
Israel is attempting to provide true humanitarian relief for the people of Gaza in the face of a continued assault of rockets and terror attacks on Israeli civilian populations inside of Israeli borders by the ruling Hamas government coming out of Gaza. The world reacts as though Israel is to blame when she retaliates against clear, determined attacks. What other country in the world would not be allowed to defend herself against such barbarity?

Only Israel - by Yedida Freilich
And Still They Come. The international media coverage given the last flotilla to the Gaza Strip and the political pressure exerted on Israel as a result led many organizations and one country to proclaim their intention to send more ships. On the agenda is the intention to dispatch two ships which are expected to set sail from Lebanon to the Gaza Strip. The first, the Nagi al-Ali, is expected to carry 100 people, among them 25 European activists (some of the parliamentarians according to the organizers) and 50 correspondents. Another ship, the Maryam, is expected to set sail with 50-60 women aboard and a cargo of humanitarian assistance.
So far, the organizers are being deliberately vague about the expected date of sailing. The date has been delayed because, among other reasons, of political pressure. However, the organizers still hope to have the ships set sail in the coming days, possibly through an intermediate destination, perhaps Cyprus.
In the meantime, the organizers and Hezbollah have been exploiting the affair to launch a propaganda campaign against Israel, full of hatred and anti-Israeli anti-Semitic motifs. Yasser Qashlaq, the dominant figure in organizing the flotilla, declared that the ships over which the IDF takes control “will take the remainder of the European garbage” which came to Israel back to their homelands
