IDF Thwarts Kassam Rocket Launching

(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch- On Wednesday an IDF helicopter fired toward a Kassam rocket launching crew as it prepared to fire its rocket. Three people were wounded and the launcher exploded. The army has distributed leaflets in Gaza depicting two Palestinians firing a Kassam rocket that lands on a Palestinian house. In south Gaza, a U.S. company has been deployed to track down a tunnel Israeli security officials believe is being built underneath the Rafah international border crossing.

Israel constructed an alternative crossing at Nitzana but the PA refuses to permit Palestinians to use the new crossing.
