So Jim pays even less attention to Emma's long posts than I do!
(I recognised it at once).
Will you all be remonstrating with him about that?

Jim,
"Any open-minded comment on the air attack on the residential area of a coastal city 7 miles north of Gaza Keith? Miraculously no casualties, just homes damaged, and they don't count I suppose (but neither does human life to Keith), but I'm sure they'll try harder next time."
It was a rocket, not air, attack on the Israeli city of Ashkelon Jim.
A shameful unprovoked attack on civilians.

An air attack was in response to that shrapnel packed rocket that landed among family homes.

No rocket, no air attack. Hamas agression to blame again.
BBC said this about it.

The strikes came after a rocket fired from the coastal enclave by militants earlier on Friday hit the Israeli city of Ashkelon on the Mediterranean coast.

That attack caused no casualties but damaged a building and cars in the city, 12km (7 miles) north of Gaza.

Hamas - the Islamist group which controls the territory - named the dead militant as Issa Batran, 42 - a commander of the group's military wing in central Gaza and a rocket maker.

The military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, said eight other Hamas supporters and three civilians were also injured in air strikes on a Hamas military training camp in Gaza City, smuggling tunnels along the Gaza-Egypt border and a target outside a central Gaza refugee camp.
