Food Fight

FOOD ROCKETS FIRED AT GAZA
by Hana Levi Julian

Tel Aviv residents fed up with the constant rocket attacks fired at
the western Negev by
terrorists in northern Gaza have found a novel way to call the
public's attention to the
grim situation.
The activists drove south on Thursday with crates of organic eggs and
vegetables – and
proceeded to fire the food at Gaza using a homemade launcher.
An IDF unit rushed to the launch site to stop what appeared to be a
rocket attack, and was
told by group spokesman Yigal Tzur, "We mean to shoot at Gaza."
Once it became clear that the rocket barrage was really just a large-
scale "food fight,"
the IDF officer in charge of the region allowed the "attack" to
continue.
The organic missile launcher, which was loaded with organic eggs,
tomatoes, mangoes, corn
and other vegetables, was built by pyrotechnics and stunts expert
Yahav Michaeli. Most of
the "ammunition" was bought in the Kassam rocket-battered city of
Sderot.
"The shooting was amazing," smiled Tzur. "Some of the vegetables flew
whole over to the
Strip. We actually spotted the eggs flying into Beit Hanoun."
On a more serious note, Tzur told aYnet reporter, "I'm glad we did
this, because we were
able to arouse awareness and put a smile on the fact of the
residents." Tzur said the grim
reality faced by residents of Sderot and other western Negev
communities has led to "a
sort of emotional stagnation" in the country.
"We need to shake people up, and we thought that this sort of [attack]
on Beit Hanoun
would be a type of peaceful shooting." Tzur said he is now working on
a bigger and better
launcher that will be able to lob whole cabbages.
He added that the group's next target may be the Knesset building.
The next day (Friday), two genuine Kassam rockets fired from Gaza
landed in Sderot,
sending several people into shock - two were taken to a hospital in
Ashkelon - and causing
damage to at least one house. Another rocket caused damage to an
animal pen in a nearby
Kibbutz.
