"Israel: 250 Palestinians To Be Released"
A8 (World Briefing), Tuesday 11/18/08
By Isabel Kershner
This brief article neutrally describes Israel's decision to release 250 Palestinian prisoners next month in a goodwill gesture to PA President Mahmoud Abbas.
At the end of the article, the author also writes that "10 locally made rockets were fired" at Israel the previous day. It appears that employing the term "locally made rockets" is meant to emphasize the crude and unsophisticated nature of the projectiles, falsely implying that they do not pose a serious physical danger to the Israeli citizens of the Western Negev.

what "locally made" may also imply is that imported grad rockets were recently fired at Ashkelon and would pose a much greater danger.
ReplyDeleteHowever, this point, if that's what it was, was awkwardly made.
