Lies, damned lies and the Gaza Strip (Ynet)
SHIMON SHIFFER: "We won," said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the end of last week after yet another round of fighting in the Gaza Strip. He then went back to taking care of his main political objective - maintaining the power of his right-wing and religious bloc.
But early Saturday morning, two days after the so-called truce had been reached, the southern city of Be'er Sheva was targeted by rockets from Gaza, spoiling the prime minister's rosy portrayal of events. The portrayal that overlooked hundreds of projectiles that had sent hundreds of thousands of Israelis in the south looking for shelters.
