I've Been Thinking:
Cyber terror has taken over the headlines in Israel this past week.
What most people don't realize, however, is that, real terror has reared its head and that story has gone largely uncovered.
Yesterday a rocket was shot from northern Gaza into Israel. Thankfully, no one was injured by the attack.
As the rocket approached, an alarm was sounded - it is called "Color Red." People had 15 seconds to find safety or get into the bomb shelters. The rocket landed in the beach area in southern Ashkelon.
There is a significant problem here. These rockets are launched with the specific purpose of terrorizing those Israeli residents who live within range. They have no real direction and no real targeting mechanism. They are shot, they fly and they land.
The rockets are launched less as a tool of destruction and more as a tool of terror and intimidation. It is the fear factor that is more important to those launching the rockets than the actual harm that may be done to people or property.
