In what could be a new and dangerous escalation, the 'Palestinian' Ma'an News Agency is reporting that a Palestinian faction launched a home-made projectile from Jenin at Kibbutz Ram On on the Green Line about half an hour ago. Jenin is at the northern edge of Samaria and is close to the larger Jewish city of Afula.Arutz Sheva confirms the launch, but says that the rocket landed in a 'Palestinian Authority autonomous area.'
Arutz Sheva notes that the incident is in line with military intelligence warnings that terrorists in Samaria are working to launch missile attacks against Jewish communities.
