Soldiers evacuate babies from Israeli daycare centre as Islamic Jihad rockets fall

You'd think that those who ask the world to deplore Israeli attacks on civilians -- even if the evidence of such attacks weren't trumped up and media-generated -- would refrain from attacks on civilians themselves, but...no such luck.

From the [1] Daily Mail (thanks to Twostellas):

Soldiers scrambled to evacuate babies from a day care center in rocket-scarred Sderot today after a projectile fired by Palestinian militants thudded into the courtyard.

None of the 15 babies at the center was hurt. But frantic parents across the city - already furious over the government's failure to protect them and their children from the near-daily rocket fire - pulled their children out of schools on the second day of the academic year.

The army said six rockets were fired at the southern Israeli city, which lies just a few kilometres from the Gaza Strip, and at least one landed. The Islamic Jihad militant group claimed responsibiity for firing three.
