Gaza militants fire rocket at Israeli town, despite truce
2012-03-14
[Haaretz] Gazoo forces of Evil fired a Grad-type Katyusha rocket toward the western Negev on Tuesday, despite a Egypt-mediated cease fire between Israel and jihad boy groups that went into effect earlier in the day.

The rocket struck a residential area if the town of Netivot, with one person lightly maimed. Eleven people were treated for shock.

Despite a ceasefire agreement reached late Monday night, the Kayusha attack on Netivot wasn't the only launch on Tuesday, with seven rockets and five mortar shells fired toward southern Israel. They went kaboom! in open areas and there were no reported casualties.

All in all, nearly 200 rockets have went kaboom! in Israeli territory since the latest round of violence between Israel and Gazoo broke out on Friday and until the Israel Defense Forces and Gazoo forces of Evil agreed to cease fire.

Responding to rocket fire, the Israel Air Force carried out 37 Arclight airstrikes in the Gazoo Strip, 19 strikes targeted rocket-launchers and 18 targeted weapons warehouses in response to rocket attacks.

Twenty-six Paleostinians were killed as a result of IAF strikes on Gazoo. Out of these 22 were forces of Evil and 4 were civilians who were in the area of IAF strikes, but were not involved in the rocket fire.

Earlier Tuesday, IDF officials announced that, following the ceasefire, 207,000 schoolchildren in communities 7-40 kilometers from Gazoo would be returning to their studies on Wednesday, for the first time since the beginning of the week.
