Will it be an Israeli Provocation which invites a Qassam, and 'gives Israel the justification' (according to the shameful media and world governments) to let loose the dogs of war, as they've planned for over a year?

Bethlehem - Ma'an - Palestinians are not the only ones producing homemade projectiles: Israeli settlers now also have Qassam rockets, according to the Hebrew daily newspaper Ma’ariv.
On Friday the newspaper published details of Israeli settlers from the Yitzhar settlement near the West Bank city of Nablus launching projectiles at a nearby Palestinian village.
Two weeks ago a religious school student made a Qassam rocket and launched it at a nearby Palestinian village, but it landed in an open area, the newspaper added.
The newspaper confirmed that the student, along with the school's headmaster, was detained on Thursday evening and is being questioned over the incident.
Minutes before launching the projectile a group of settlers told Yitzhar residents that they were carrying out an experiment and not to worry about the sound of an explosion.
The loud explosion brought Israeli army forces rushing to the area, thinking the settlers were being targeted. When it was revealed it was the settlers who had launched the projectile, the matter was handed over to the Israeli police.
Police suspect that the student gathered information about making projectiles through internet websites. Investigations are ongoing to discover the source of the explosive materials and whether anyone else was involved.
