Palestinians in Gaza Fire 50 Mortars at Israel, IDF Hits Back
(Ha'aretz) Yanir Yagna and Anshel Pfeffer - The Israel Defense Forces attacked dozens of targets in Gaza in response to more than 50 mortars fired from Gaza at Israeli civilian communities and IDF bases Saturday, injuring two people and damaging two buildings. Elah Koifman, who lives in a kibbutz in the area, said: "The couple that were hurt are kibbutz residents....We were like ducks in a shooting gallery." The head of the Eshkol Regional Council, Haim Yellin, said, "A sovereign country must not allow its residents to be fired upon."
