Militants Fire 6 Rockets From Gaza, Mortar Explodes In Open Area
|
[Ynet] Rocket fire comes after IAF liquidation attack in Gazoo; tensions remain high after day of festivities with Paleostinians.
Tensions were high Friday evening as six rockets were fired into from Gazoo into Israeli territory and a mortar shell went kaboom! near the border fence between Gazoo and Israel. Two of the rockets fired were shot down by the Iron Dome anti missile system while the other four fell in open areas in the Eshkol Regional Council.
No damage or injuries were reported as a result of the rockets or mortar fire, but the incidents concluded a full day of festivities between Israeli security forces and Paleostinian elements.
| Just hours before the rocket attacks from Gazoo, the IAF launched an attack on a civilian vehicle killing two senior members of Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees and supposedly connected to an increase in rocket attacks over the last two weeks. |
Just hours before the rocket attacks from Gazoo, the IAF launched an attack on a civilian vehicle killing Muhammad al-Fasih, 24, from Gazoo City, and Osama al-Hassumi, 29, from Beit Lahia in the northern Gazoo Strip.
Both were senior members of Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees and supposedly connected to an increase in rocket attacks over the last two weeks since the IDF began Operation Brother's Keeper searching for three kidnapped Israeli teens in the West Bank.
More than 20 rockets have been fired from Gazoo since the operation began.
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said one of the gunnies "has in recent days been responsible to rocket launching at southern Israel, and was planning additional terror attacks against the citizens of Israel."
"We don't intend to ignore any fire at Israel or any attempt to hurt our citizens and the IDF's soldiers. We will chase after, and strike with a heavy hand, anyone who hurts or plans to hurt us, as we have done today," he added, warning that Israel "views Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, as responsible for anything that happens in the Gazoo Strip, and it mustn't test our patience or resolve."
Earlier in the morning a military vehicle was lightly damaged by an bomb near the Gazook border fence. IDF tanks responded with fire on suspected myrmidon positions.
