II. Summary:
A Grad rocket from Gaza hit a shopping center in Ashkelon and hurt 15 people, including a mother and her 3 year old daughter. It hit the roof causing the ceiling to fall and hurt 4 people very seriously. The two terror groups responsibly for the attack are Islamic Jihad and Popular Resistance Committees and they are said to have received the rockets (Grads) from Iran. Israelites want to fight back because they are getting tried of being attacked.
III. Reaction:
A. The article goes with the AP World theme ‘Impact of technology, economics, and demography on people and the environment’ because rockets are technology that is having a great affect on people in Israel. People are getting hurt and dieing and the environment is being ruined because of these rockets.
B. As most people know there is a war going on in the Middle East where Iran is attacking Israel.
C. The point of view of this article is someone on the staff of JPOST which most likely means they are from Israel.
D. There is some bias in this article because he is mostly from Israel so he has a lot of sympathy for the people who got injured. Also, there are many quotes but they all really say pretty much the same thing.
E. It would have helped to hear from someone who lives in Israel, a commoner to see what Iran always attacking does to their everyday life. To see if they are always afraid of bombs and rockets or don’t really think about it a lot.
F. I think that it is horrible that attacks like this are still going on. I feel horrible for the people of the country that live everyday with the fear of being attacked. I think that Israel should attack Iran to end all the consent attacks and make life better for the people of Israel.

it makes me frustrated when people kill innocent people when there is no reason. someone needs to put a stop to it, because it constantly happens, when these people just wanted to have a nice day at the mall, and anyone wounded or killed now will have to tell their families that they lost someone because of an angry person attacking them
I think that the terrorist group should not attack innocents, even if they think its for a higher cause.
these twoo groups have been figthting for a very long time and it is sad that it is still going on. They shouldn't take it out on inocent people. they really shoudnt be figthting at all.
