Oh My! Rocket, intended to hit Israeli civilians, falls short in Gaza

...COGAT (Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories) immediately closed the vital Kerem Shalom crossing to commercial traffic, which sooner or later is going to prompt a round of gnashing of teeth by sources in the media asking how the Israelis can conduct themselves so cruelly when they have such pathetic and needy neighbours on the other side of the fence and isn't this collective punishment?
