IDF Broadening Gaza Ground Operations in Face of Heavier Rocket Fire
[Ha'aretz] Amos Harel - The Israel Defense Forces has been broadening its ground operations in Gaza in response to an increase in Palestinian rocket fire on Israel. During the past three days, at least 10 Kassam rockets and 25 mortars were fired at Israel. On Friday, a rocket struck a kibbutz in the western Negev, and the shrapnel hit a kindergarten. No one was injured because the kindergarten teacher rushed the children into a reinforced area when the warning siren sounded. Most of the rockets were fired by Islamic Jihad, but the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades are also involved.
