Yet another mortar shell fired by Palestinian terrorists landed near a building in Gush Katif this morning. It caused light damage, but no one was hurt. Last night, two shells fell near Jewish homes in one of the larger communities there, but again no one was hurt. IDF troops in Gaza arrested a Hamas member last night when they found two pipe bombs hidden in the trunk of his car. Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin said in an NBC interview yesterday that the suicide murders are acts of ‘self-defense,’ and pledged that they would continue. Military sources are in fact warning that Hamas is working around the clock to rebuild its terrorist infrastructure in Judea and Samaria.
