Meanwhile, mortar shells continue to be fired at Israeli targets in Gaza. One shell hit Gadid today, another one late fell last night near the border fence in the northern Gaza Strip, and yet another shell hit Netzer Hazani earlier in the evening. This last mortar caused damage to the Yifrach family home; no one was in the house at the time, as the father was on his way to switch his wife in Soroka hospital. They have been taking turns sitting there with their son Amichai, 17, ever since he was wounded three weeks ago in a mortar attack on the youth club in Netzer Hazani. The IDF fired two rockets at Gaza late this morning.
For at least the third time this week, residents of Rimonim - where lived Idit Mizrachi, who was murdered in a terrorist shooting on Tuesday night - demonstrated and blocked Palestinian traffic. Today they burnt tires and blocked Arabs on Highway 60, between Jerusalem and Ofrah. They claim that the army is not providing them sufficient protection. An army officer on the scene told Arutz-7\'s Kobi Sela that the army is reconsidering its \"security conception\" on the Alon Highway, along which Idit was murdered and other shooting attacks were perpetrated.
