(Ynet News-Times of Israel) Ilana Curiel - Terrorist groups in Gaza fired some 55 rockets and mortar shells at communities in southern Israel on Monday. There were no reports of injuries, although two buildings were lightly damaged and several goats were killed by an explosion at a kibbutz petting zoo. In response, the IDF carried out three aerial strikes and one ground assault on Hamas terror hubs and rocket launching pads. Israel Channel 10 TV quoted a military official in the Southern Command as saying that Hamas was using sophisticated launchers capable of shooting several rockets at once. The launchers were remotely operated, allowing the terrorists to remain hidden from sight.
