[Ha'aretz] Mijal Greenberg - Palestinians on Tuesday evening launched a barrage of mortar shells on Netiv Haasara, an Israeli community near the Gaza border, causing damage to a home with a woman and an infant inside. In response, the Israel Defense Forces struck targets in Gaza, killing four militants at a Hamas police position. According to Gideon Sharabi, a security officer from the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council, Netiv Haasara has seen a surge in mortar attacks over the past several weeks. Also on Tuesday, Palestinian militants fired four Kassam rockets at Israel from Gaza. One landed near a kibbutz and damaged a building.
