IDF soldiers operating in the Jabalya slums in northern Gaza destroyed three Kassam rocket and mortar shell workshops today. Golani and Givati infantry soldiers are into their second day of an expanded anti-terror offensive intended to bring an end to rocket attacks against the western Negev.
Despite the army's presence, several Kassam rockets were fired from northern Gaza, with one landing between Kibbutz Erez and Kibbutz Nir Am in the western Negev, and two more in Sderot. Palestinian-fired mortar shells scored a direct hit on an agricultural building in Moshav Gadid and on the security fence of Morag, both in Gush Katif. No injuries were reported in either of the attacks.
A number of terrorists were killed and wounded in ongoing fighting in Jabalya overnight and early this morning. A bomb was detonated against IDF soldiers operating there, but there were no injuries.
