Palestinians fired mortar shells at the Jewish towns of Netzarim and Morag in Gaza last night; no one was hurt, and IDF tanks returned fire towards the Palestinian police post near Netzarim, killing a Force 17 officer. It has now been publicized that other mortar shells were fired earlier in the week near the Jewish towns of Rafiach Yam and Netzer Chazani; the \"craters\" made by the shells were discovered only this morning.

Last night\'s other targets of Palestinian terrorist shooting included an Israeli car on the road leading to Brachah in the Shomron; another car near Nachliel; and an IDF base near Ofrah.
