ISRAELS TO SEND $ TO FATAH, AS IT LAUNCHES ROCKETS AT ISRAEL

Israel agrees to release funds to Abbas (AP)
JERUSALEM - Israel agreed Sunday to begin releasing hundreds of millions of dollars in frozen tax funds to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, a gesture to bolster the moderate Palestinian leader in his standoff against the Islamic militant group Hamas.

The decision came a day before Prime Minister Ehud Olmert heads to Egypt for a high-profile summit with Abbas, President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and Jordanian King Abdullah II.

The gathering is meant to give Abbas a high-profile display of support against Hamas, which violently seized control of the Gaza Strip in a bloody rout of Abbas’ Fatah movement earlier this month.

A Fatah faction and the Islamic Jihad both claimed responsibility for Sunday morning's Kassam rocket attack on Sderot, which damaged a home and left three people lightly wounded.

GEE, I WONDER WHERE THEY'LL GET MONEY FOR MORE ROCKETS?

HERE'S AN IDEA:
