‘Surprise’ rocket fire at Jerusalem shows Hamas flailing but still seeking to escalate the conflict.

Gaza’s Islamists, far from cowed, are pushing to their limits in a bid for ‘an achievement’

Jerusalem hasn’t been hit with rocket fire since 1970, when two Katyushas were fired from the Palestinian village of Batir.
 
The M-75s (or Fajr-5 missiles, depending on the report) that landed in an open space south of Jerusalem on Friday, in Kfar Etzion, were labeled by Hamas as “surprises.”
