Palestinians shoot 9 missiles, 20 mortar shells after Barak caves in on fuel and medicine deliveries to Gaza

Ah, the Israelis try to be nice, and the Pallys try to resume the killings. It is good they have no aim, but why does the UN allow daily shellings like this? What a corrupt and worthless government to allow your villages to be attacked daily and just ignore most of it.

DEBKAfile - DEBKAfile: Palestinians shoot 9 missiles, 20 mortar shells after Barak caves in on fuel and medicine deliveries to Gaza: "The barrage followed a two-day slowdown. No casualties.

Monday morning, prime minister Ehud Olmert said: “Let the Gazans walk!” He was responding to condemnation from Cairo, Arab nations and the European Union over Israel’s cut-down of fuel supplies and closure of the Gaza crossings last week under the Palestinians heavy blitz of Israeli civilians.

Yet Monday night, defense minister Ehud Barak gave a “one-time” order to resume the heavy fuel and medicines deliveries to the Gaza Strip. He thus surrendered to the pressure drummed up by Hamas’ highly telegenic humanitarian crisis that never was.

Neither the foreign ministry nor the army spokesman was geared to fend off this psychological war stunt. By the time they argued back that Israel, while taking 50 missiles a day, was feeding Gaza 75 percent of its electricity and its hospitals (unlike those in Arab countries) were caring for dozens of Palestinian patients from the Gaza Strip, no one was listening."
