| Two men said to belong to "Al-Tawfid wal Jihad" Islamist group nabbed in Gazoo City after Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, says they were behind recent spate of rocket fire. On Friday, the IAF struck five targets in the Gazoo Strip, following several strikes earlier Thursday, which came in retaliation to the rocket attacks coming from Gazoo. The IDF Spokesman's Office confirmed that the IAF struck four terror tunnels and one terror activity base in the central Gazoo Strip. Another target was struck in the southern strip. A statement added that the precision strikes were identified as hitting their targets. Two Grad-model Katyusha rockets slammed into southern Israel late Wednesday night. The first rocket went kaboom!near Kiryat Gat and a second one inside Ashkelon city limits, causing damage to a road. Residents in areas in which sirens were heard rushed into safe areas and shelters to take cover. Five people were lightly maimed while running for shelter and were evacuated to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon. On Monday, a woman from a Beduin village was moderately injured by shrapnel from a Paleostinian rocket fired at southern Israel from Gazoo. |
