Palestinians fired heavily at IDF forces in southern Gaza throughout the day. The attacks began near the Jewish town of Gadid, and later moved to the N\'vei Dekalim industrial area. Light machine guns and anti-tank fire was directed at the Israeli targets. No one was hurt. In Hevron, too, Palestinians attacked IDF soldiers today; at least ten Molotov cocktails were hurled at them.
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; their \"craters\" were discovered only in the past hours.
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.
Other news from Gush Katif: Jewish residents are fuming at the permission granted to Palestinian policemen to travel freely between one end of Gaza and the other. They blocked the Dir el Balah junction to Palestinian traffic, claiming that the policemen/terrorists are able to travel easily between one terror-attack site and another.
