Palestinian Militant who Fired RPG Targeted by IAF
In a joint IDF-ISA activity, the IAF targeted a Palestinian militant who fired an anti-tank missile at IDF soldiers in the northern Gaza Strip, near the Nahal Oz crossing. A direct hit was identified.
No IDF soldiers were harmed in the incident however a mortar shell did damage an IDF vehicle in the same area earlier today.
Over 90 rockets and mortar shells have been fired at Israeli territory since the beginning of 2010, and approximately 330 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel since the end of Operation Cast Lead.
The IDF remains committed to protecting the citizens of Israel and will continue to act against terror. The IDF holds Hamas solely responsible for terror emanating from the Gaza Strip.
