A number of Israelis from the Tel Aviv vicinity drove south and fired improvised missiles towards Gaza, in an effort to raise awareness of the difficult situation in Sderot.

The group used a projectile-launcher built by Yahav Michaeli - a stunts and pyrotechnics expert - to lob organic eggs and vegetables towards Beit Hanoun.

"The idea was to draw attention to what's going on with a little bit of humor, because we thought it could relieve the pressure a little," said members of the group.

"When you wander around Sderot and notice the atmosphere there, you understand that a sort of emotional stagnation has taken hold of the State. That's why we decided to do what we did," they said.

"We need to shake people up and we thought that this sort of shooting towards Beit Hanoun would be a type of peaceful shooting.

IDF sources who heard of the missile launcher hurried worriedly to the launch site. They were greeted by group member Yigal Tzur, who told them, "we mean to shoot at Gaza."

The officer responsible for the region informed him that shooting was prohibited in area and requested he stop. Upon being informed that the group was shooting eggs and vegetables, he allowed them to continue.

The group had brought with them organic eggs, corn, mango, tomatoes and other vegetables - much of it bought in Sderot - to launch at the Palestinians.

"The shooting was amazing, some of the vegetables flew whole over to the Strip, we actually spotted the eggs flying into Beit Hanoun and the thought even crossed my mind that some day, we may be able to make Arabic salad here, a salad of peace," Tzur added.

"I'm glad we did this, because we were able to arouse awareness and put a smile on the face of the residents. We are considering keeping this up, and the next 'attack' may even be against the Knesset building. I'm already working on a more advanced cannon that will be able to fire whole cabbages."

Tossed salad anyone?

Humorous. That sounds like a fantastic way to get yourself shot though. :P

you could definitely make a case for this being included in tilted weaponry as well. bet you don't have one of these longbough ;)

what a fantastic way to insult the people in Gaza. "look, we have so much food that we're squandering it!"

Anything to keep Israel from bulldozing homes of innocent people is fine in my book.

What about all those starving kids in Africa?

They bought quantities of good food... they didn't get old, useless food that no one could eat... they got good food from a store... and then shot it in the air to the ground.

I guess they have no homeless there... no poor/hungry... what an asinine use of money and good food. A salad of peace? What an asshat.

HeHe, Longbough may not..but I do!....TONS of fun. just have to be careful what you are shooting, and where it is going. We take it out into a local national forest and head out into a sand dune area that is about 400 yards by 400 yards. My longest shot so far was measured at 275 yards!
