While human rights groups are condemning the Israelis for slowly drawing down their support for the infrastructure of the Gaza terror state, Hamas is warning Israel it better evacuate anywhere in range and showing they've been getting Hizballah training: PRC: Residents of southern Israel should evacuate (the Popular Resistance Committees is the umbrella group (really) for the Palestinian terror groups)
The Popular Resistance Committees called on the residents of Israel's south to evacuate their families from the line of fire on Friday afternoon. In all more than 20 Qassam rockets have been launched towards Israel from northern Gaza on Friday. Abu Mujihad, a spokesman for the Salah al-Din Brigades (the military wing of the PRC) claimed responsibility for the barrages and told Ynet the attacks were in retaliation for the killing of one of the organization's senior commanders, Abu al-Sa'ad.
A senior PRC official, Abu Abir, warned the attacks would only increase and urged the evacuation of Sderot and its neighboring communities. "What was up until now is nothing compared to what will be. We call on them (the Israelis) to evacuate for their safety and the safety of their children," he said...
...Meanwhile on Thursday IDF forces operating in northern Gaza uncovered, for the first time, two rocket launchers concealed in underground firing positions.
The new tactic is considered a sophisticated method aimed at enabling terror groups to fire at Israel while evading IDF counterattacks immediately following the launching of rockets. The two launching positions were uncovered at the outskirts of the Gaza town of Jabalya.
The positions detected in the operation were concealed and highly reminiscent of Hizbullah's modus operandi in southern Lebanon - from where Katyusha rockets were launched towards Israel from launchers buried underground in thickly wooded areas.
