No one was hurt when an Arab-fired mortar shell directly hit a home in one of the Gush Katif (Gaza) Jewish communities late this morning. The house suffered extensive damage. Two other shells also hit the town, without causing damage.



Israeli forces in Gaza, near the Egyptian-Israeli border, thwarted a terrorist attempt last night. They saw a terrorist approaching them and opened fire. Later investigations proved that he had in fact been on his way to place a bomb.
