Rocket attack against Jerusalem thwarted
This is what Israel gets for trying to make peace and appease a bunch of pali terrorist. I wish the government of Israel would stop thinking that giving up more land is going to stop the terror attacks against them. It isn't going to work.
JERUSALEM – Marking what many here are calling a major escalation in Palestinian terrorism, security officials announced yesterday they captured a rocket launcher and several mortar shells intended for attack against a Jerusalem neighborhood.
A leader of the planned attack told WorldNetDaily yesterday his group will soon launch a rocket war against the Jewish state, threatening to fire missiles at Israel's international airport and warning his group's rockets will soon "bring hell" to Israelis.
Yuval Diskin, head of Israel's Shin Bet security service, yesterday revealed during a Knesset session the Israeli army uncovered the launcher and eight shells in a house in Bethlehem, which borders Jerusalem. Diskin said the weapons, transported by the Popular Resistance Committees terror group, were intended for use against Israeli homes in the neighborhood of Gilo on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
"As far as we know, this is the first time a projectile weapon aimed at targeting Jerusalem was found," said Diskin.
Jerusalem has been the scene of suicide bombings and shooting attacks, but Palestinian rockets have never been fired at the city. Over 500 rockets have been launched at Jewish communities in and near the Gaza Strip the past five years.
Following Israel's withdrawal from Gaza this past summer, terror groups warned they transferred their rockets to the West Bank, which borders Israel's major cities, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Military leaders here threatened massive retaliation for any rocket launched from the West Bank.
Abu Abir, spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees, told WND his group takes credit for the failed mortar attack against Jerusalem. In an interview to be released in full tomorrow, he threatened more rocket attacks:
"We call on (Shin Bet chief) Diskin and tell him not to be so happy and proud about stopping our attack because there is much more to come. The lives of Israeli citizens will turn to hell very soon," Abu Abir said.
Abu Abir warned his group has stockpiles of rockets in the West Bank ready to launch at Jewish cities.
"I am not going to give details (about which cities we will attack), but we are planning to be present all around the West Bank. Every Israeli target is a legitimate target. Wherever there is an Israeli soldier or settler they will find our rockets.
"Jerusalem, Ben Gurion International Airport, Tel Aviv and every Israeli point can be part of our goals. Whenever it is needed rockets will be fired against every Israeli settlement, city or neighborhood. ...We know that Israeli central cities are more sensitive targets and they contain more sensitive targets, but we will not hesitate to fire rockets everywhere against the Zionist enemy, " Abu Abir said.
The Popular Resistance leader warned of a massive new wave of violence he said will soon be launched against Israel:
"The bases for rockets networks and technology are already installed in the West Bank, but their operational capacities should be ready in the next few months. Israelis should wait for a revolution very soon."
