Israel Air Force Hits Cell that Fired at Ashkelon
[Jerusalem Post] The Israel Air Force responded swiftly to the Friday morning attacks on Ashkelon, striking the terror cell responsible for firing Grad rockets at the city. Earlier Friday, the IAF bombed 20 targets in Gaza, including a mosque in Jabalya. The Holfe Mosque was used as a launching pad for rockets, a meeting place for Hamas terrorists and a staging ground for terror attacks, as well as a communications center, the IDF said, adding that it was used as a storage site for a large amount of Grad-type missiles, Kassam rockets and additional weaponry. The airstrike set off a lengthy series of secondary explosions and a large fire, caused by the ammunition stockpiled in the mosque.
