Inaccurate Reporting

In her report, Isabel Kershner writes:

The Hamas military wing said in a statement that it had fired 33 mortar shells, though the Israeli police put the number at closer to 50. And while Hamas said that it was firing at Israeli military bases along the border, mortar fire is notoriously inaccurate, and the Israeli side of the border is dotted with villages and communal farms.

Now, this assertion of "notoriously inaccurate" has been made regarding Qassam missiles. See here or here or here.

But from my experience as an infantry soldier, mortar fire is a lot less inaccurate than a Qassam missile. This line of excusing the Pals. is going too far.

In fact, it is inaccurate journalism and reporting.
