From DEBKAfile, March 26, 2008, 10:40 PM (GMT+02:00):

New upsurge of Palestinian attacks from Gaza - 16 missiles fired Wednesday injuring 3 Israeli civilians

A heavy barrage of 7 Qassam missiles struck Sderot Wednesday night, March 26.

One exploded in the old market, injuring three people and leaving 16 in shock.

Of the 16 fired during the day, one landed south of Ashkelon, several exploded in kibbutzim causing heavy damage to property.

Israeli military sources tell DEBKAfile that Hamas is passing missiles to Jihad Islami in order to step up the attacks on Israel, without being held accountable and drawing Israeli fire – to heat up tensions for the arrival of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Friday.
