(Jerusalem Post/Ha'aretz) Three mortar shells were fired into Neveh Dekalim in the Gaza Strip's Gush Katif area on Monday, wounding two Israelis. One woman was moderately wounded with shrapnel in her chest, and security coordinator Ilan Tertek was wounded by mortar fragments when he ran to the scene after the first explosion. Damage was also caused to a number of homes and vehicles. Since September 2000, more than 4,000 mortar shells have been fired at Gush Katif. In a separate incident, Palestinians fired a Kassam rocket at Israel that fell short of its mark and hit a Palestinian home in Jabalya, wounding a number of residents.
