Palestinian armed forces have fired 19 rockets, missiles and mortars from Gaza into Sderot and surrounding farming communities in Israel's Western Negev region since September 4th.. Residents of Sderot and the Western Negev have experienced one of the worst periods of attack since Israel's three week incursion into Gaza in January 2009.

In sum, Gazans have launched 424 aerial attacks into Israel since the cease fire on January 18, 2009. These attacks raise 2 important questions:

1)"Where do the attacks on the Western Negev and Sderot fit in the current middle east negotiation equation?"

2)"What are the implications for the Hamas regime in Gaza in these negotiations"?

These attacks on Israel, perpetrated by the Hamas regime in Gaza demonstrate that Hamas remains fully in control of Gaza.

Hamas uses every opportunity to remind the world that Hamas prevailed in the elections of January 2006 in all areas of the Palestinian Authority, elections that were overseen by the European Union and by representatives of the US government.
