Two Israeli Air Force strikes Monday morning killed two Gaza-based terrorists, one in Rafiah, which is divided by the Egyptian-Gaza border, and the second in Beit Hanoun, near the Erez Crossing at the northern edge of the Gaza region. Arab sources identified the terrorists as members of Hamas.

Army soldiers also shot two terrorists who tried to attack them, and 30 others were arrested. At least five Kassam rockets hit Israel Monday morning, including three near the port city of Ashkelon.
