Two Islamic Jihad Terrorists Killed in Israeli Strike on Gaza
(Ha'aretz) Avi Issacharoff - A spokeswoman for the Israel Defense Forces confirmed that an Israeli aircraft fired a missile at a group of militants in northern Gaza on Sunday. According to Israel Radio and witnesses, they had been trying to launch a rocket at Israel. Palestinian media reported that two Palestinians were killed and three more were wounded, while Islamic Jihad claimed the casualties as its members. IDF Southern Command head Maj. Gen. Tal Russo on Saturday described the situation in Gaza as "anarchic," both within Hamas and with the smaller armed factions. The fact that many more Grad rockets were smuggled into Gaza in recent weeks and distributed among the factions also makes the situation more difficult to control.
