An Arab-fired mortar shell hit the central Gaza community of Netzarim last night, resulting in damage to several homes but no injuries. One of the homes belongs to a nephew of Sderot Mayor Eli Moyal, whose city has been targeted in several PA rocket attacks over the past week.
Gush Katif spokesman Eran Sternberg decried the lack of an IDF response to the attack, saying, "Prime Minister Sharon's deafening silence about the attack in Netzarim contradicts the laws of nature regarding the color of members of the same family." The oblique reference was to the fact that when the uncle's city was struck, the government took immediate action, as opposed to when the nephew's town was hit. Yesha Council head Bentzy Lieberman sent a letter yesterday to Sharon demanding that the beleaguered Gush Katif communities be granted the same front-line status granted on Sunday to Sderot. Gush Katif has suffered roughly 2,000 rockets and shells in the past 30 months.
Army sappers found and safely detonated a 100-kilogram explosive near the hothouses of the southern Gush Katif community of Morag today.
