(Ha'aretz) Nadav Shragai - In the past few years, a total of 4,813 mortar shells and rockets have landed in Gush Katif. One hundred homes have been directly hit, 300 indirectly. The 800 shells and Kassam and Al-Batar rockets that have landed in Gush Katif in the past six months have grown more precise, caused greater damage and produced many more trauma sufferers. Last week alone, dozens of shells hit Gush Katif. Ten shells landed in Atzmona. The local school was also hit. Some landed only a few meters from the children in the schoolyard. Miraculously, there were no casualties.
