Israel Matzav: How many rockets from the Gaza Strip?

How many rockets from the Gaza Strip?

Here's a graph from the IDF showing how many rocket attacks there have been on Israel from Gaza (source here). Please note that the number for 2014 does not include Operation Protective Edge and is still more than 10 times the number of rockets fired in 2013.

Anyone still believe that Operation Protective Edge was the result of the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers? My guess is that had Hamas not started firing rockets from Gaza, much of the IDF would still be engaged in the search for the kidnappers (who might have been found by now).

Location: Jerusalem, Israel

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
