More Hamas Rockets, IAF Retaliates by Hitting Tunnels

Over thirty Qassam rockets, mortar shells and Grad missiles were fired at Israel since the holding of fire.

On Thursday evening, an infiltration attempt was thwarted on the security
fence in the southern Gaza Strip.

An IDF force identified a suspicious man approaching the fence and entered the area, beginning the regular rules of engagement. The terror operative then drew a hand grenade from his bag forcing the soldiers to open fire. The grenade he was holding exploded and the man was killed.

The targets included four smuggling tunnels and a weapons storage facility. Secondary explosions were seen following a number of the attacks.
