Operation Blue Skies Still Underway in Gaza
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - The Israel Defense Forces continued its "Blue Skies" operation in the Gaza Strip Thursday, preventing Palestinians from entering a buffer zone in the northern Gaza Strip near the ruins of former settlements Elei Sinai, Nissanit, and Dugit from which rockets were fired at the Israeli city of Ashkelon. The army is enforcing the zone using hourly artillery fire into open areas. Some Palestinian security personnel deployed in the area have moved south, and are preventing Palestinians from entering the buffer zone. The IDF is also monitoring territory further south, from which rockets are launched at the town of Sderot.
