Aside from the Kassam attacks, this year's Purim celebrations across the country were clouded by security warnings. The security establishment reported seven specific warnings of attacks, including suicide bombings, shooting attacks and kidnapping attempts. There were also dozens of non-specific warnings.That latter bit was the second work-accident/own goal in the past two days. The terrorists are getting sloppy, which can only be good news for Israel since that's that many fewer terrorists who can make the bombs and rockets that are meant to kill and injure Israelis and damage Israeli property.
The high alert level was due in a large part to the end of the 40-day mourning period for slain Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mugniyeh. Israel denied involvement in the assassination, but Hizbullah threatened to avenge his death with an attack on Israeli targets. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the alert level Friday was one below the maximum.
Meanwhile, terrorist training in Gaza took its toll on Hamas Friday morning as one of the group's operatives was killed and two were injured in an accidental explosion at a facility in the southern Gaza neighborhood of Khan Yunis, Palestinians reported.
The Russians are pushing their pseudorealist diplomatic activities calling for an end to the rocket attacks from Gaza and Israeli housing construction projects. Nothing like your morning dosage of moral equivalence.
And for those who still cling to the nonsensical diplomatic drivel that claims that Fatah is a partner in peace, Fatah's wholly owned subsidiary, the al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade claimed responsibility for shooting up a bus in Nablus, which injured a 13-year old boy.
