Israel Aborts Airstrikes in Effort to Protect Gaza Civilians
(Israel Defense Forces) Yael Livnat and Yiftach Carmeli - An air strike on an underground launch site in Gaza, in response to the incessant rocket fire directed at Israel, was aborted due to the discovery of civilians in the area. Intelligence-collecting aircraft identified a rocket launch, and Air Force aircraft were sent to strike the area Thursday. But "we saw that innocent civilians were approaching the area of the underground launch site," said Lt. Omer, part of the intelligence squadron. "We immediately contacted the forces and instructed them to abort the strike." This is one of many similar stories.
