Israel at the weekend reaped more fruit of its recent “disengagement” from the Gaza Strip.
Last week, that crop took the form of a brief international embrace of the Jewish state. Now Hamas and the Islamic Jihad have begun exploiting their newfound liberty from direct IDF interference to launch massive artillery barrages on Israel's Negev region.
More than 40 Kassam rockets fired from northern Gaza slammed into the town of Sderot over the weekend. Among the targets were a school, a residential complex and a community recreation center.
Sderot Mayor Eli Moyal announced Saturday night that schools would be closed Sunday due to the threat to the town's children. Many classrooms still are not fortified against artillery attacks.

Israeli aircraft blasted suspected Palestinian weapons facilities in Gaza on Sunday and authorities arrested hundreds of militants in the West Bank, launching an offensive against the Islamic group Hamas after it bombarded Israeli towns with rockets.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon warned Sunday that "all means" would be used to end attacks on Israel. Security officials said the military was preparing for possible artillery attacks and a ground invasion unless the Palestinian Authority or Hamas itself halts the rocket attacks.

Israel unilaterally withdrew its settlements and military from Gaza with the tacit understanding that attacks upon Israel from Gaza would cease. It is becoming rapidly obvious to me that the Palestinian Authority either supports, or has no control over violent elements within its territory. Abu Abbas and the PA were warned in no uncertain terms that Israel would respond with whatever force was necessary to eliminate Gaza attacks on Israelis should these terms be violated.
Although I am cogniscent of the difficulties facing Abu Abbas, my patience with the Palestinians has now ended. Whatever heartache befalls them from this point on... is now considered to be well deserved.
