Fighting is also underway in Gaza, where 15 Hamas terrorists have been reported killed and some 40 more were wounded. No IDF casualties have been reported. In all, some 200 Hamas terrorists in Gaza have been killed so far in the past weeks of anti-terror warfare. Israel Air Force aircraft attacked terrorist stockrooms in Gaza City.



No breakthrough in the destruction of the terrorist infrastructures in Gaza has been reported, but a gradual decrease in their capabilities has been noted.



Lt.-Col. Guy Biton told Ynet, "The fighting is very complex. Terrorists are firing anti-tank rockets at us. They come to within 100 meters in order to hit our vehicles and weapons."



Three Kassam rockets were fired from Gaza and hit the community of Netiv HaAsarah early this afternoon. Earlier today, a Kassam was fired towards Ashkelon, and another one towards the western Negev; no damage or casualties were reported. Two Kassams were fired on Tuesday, lightly wounding one person, and several others were launched on Monday.
