Responding to Palestinian Rocket Fire, Israel Bombs 20 Targets in Gaza
(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross - Israel bombed 20 "military facilities" in Gaza on Wednesday in response to a predawn rocket attack that struck a home in Beersheba. The rockets used in the attack on Israel were not the standard Grad variety, but an improved version with a larger warhead. "There are only two organizations in Gaza that have this caliber of rocket: Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad," said IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus. Israeli air force jets bombed an attack tunnel being dug toward Israel, a tunnel used by Hamas naval commandos, weapons factories, military bases and other facilities, Conricus said.
