Four border policemen were injured, with the officer seriously injured in a rocket attack on Ashkelon Tuesday night. A kibbutz building had also been hit. Southern Israel, including the Negav and Sderot were hit with 45 rockets between midnight and 10:30pm Tuesday night. Most were the short range Kassam,rockets but 3 Grad Katyushas were aimed at Netivot. Hamas has taken responsibility saying they were trying to hit the army Zikim base and the rockets were their response to IAF strikes last night.
This has put hundreds of thousands of Israelis under siege and in bomb shelters. The result is that the IAF struck 3 times on terror targets in Gaza in the last 24 hours which killed at least 6 terrorists. One strike on Tuesday afternoon injured a man on a motorcycle.
Monday 2 terrorists had infiltrated and were in the Sinai area and have been identified as a Saudi citizen, Abu Huthiyfa al-Rathali. and an Egyptian, Abu Salah al-Masri who belong to the group "Shura Council of the Mujahedeen at Al Quds. They made a video showing them to be reading their wills before the attack. The group said the attack was for the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Arab terrorists held in Israel's jail and Osama bin Laden. They had managed to kill one Israeli before killing themselves.
Earlier in the day, another strike hit a motorcycle and killed 2 Islamic Jihad terrorists, Mohammed Shabat and Ismail Odeh. They were part of a squad of snipers working near the security fence in the northern Gaza Strip that had shot at an Israli farmer working near the fence last Thursday.
There was an explosion in Gaza City that killed a 2 yr old Palestinian girl on Tuesday evening, but Israel said there was no air raid from them in the area then. Update:6/20/12: It's now found that a Palestinian rocket was the cause of the child's death.
Hamas said they fired only 10 rockets after 3 Israeli air strikes killed 6 Palestinians. This was said after Israel hit again over Deir al-Balah in central Gaza and injured the 2 men on a motorcycle.
The terrorists only see things as one-sided. The Palestinian cabinet condemned "continuous Israeli escalation" and called for "international protection to the Palestinian people", but never mention the fact that they start the attacks and Israel acts in defense and also told them that they would retaliate if attacked.
Israel aid that their 3 air raids in the past 12 hours was not related to the border incident and that they had targeted militants planning or engaging in attacks on Israel. Example is finding a terrorist squad handling an explosive device near the security fence in central Gaza. They were trying to fire a rocket at Israel.
