JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Palestinians in the Gaza Strip fired two rockets into Israel on Friday, police said, ending a lull in cross-border violence since an informal ceasefire took effect earlier in the week.
Israel often responds to such attacks with air strikes in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
An Israeli police spokesman said two rockets were fired in the direction of the southern Israeli cities of Ashdod and Ashekelon but neither caused injuries or damage.
Violence flared last week after Hamas militants fired an anti-tank rocket across the border at an Israeli school bus, critically wounding an Israeli teenager. Israel retaliated with air and ground strikes, killing 19 Palestinians.
Militants in Gaza had fired at least 140 rockets at Israel during the four days of fighting, which had subsided since Egyptian and U.N. mediators achieved an informal truce on Sunday.

And the UN wants to reward that terriorist behavior with statehood. Since the Palestinians cannot control Hamas, what do you think will happen should they get a state? Hezbollah would put rockets all along the southern and eastern borders of Israel like they have the northern border. Wakeup UN! The PA have already proven they cannot control even the Gaza strip.

We, the American public, read about the rocket attacks and think nothing of it. We all hold our collective breath waiting for Israel to respond and then we say they over replied. Here is a question-if the Mexican drug cartels started firing rockets into AZ or TX, what response would you want and expect from the US?
