Southern Israel came under mortar fire from hostile forces in Gaza again this morning.
Times of Israel says Gazan Palestinian Arab mortar shells were directed at IDF soldiers patrolling the border with the Gaza Strip. Fortunately there appear to be neither injuries to the soldiers nor property damage. But this was not the intention of those doing the firing. The IDF troops were on the Israeli side of the fence with the central Gaza Strip, near Khan Younis.
UPDATE Thursday night, November 14, 2013:
AFP quotes IDF sources saying there were two incoming projectiles. One was a mortar, the other a rocket. It says that the terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad says its "
fighters" fired "
four mortar shells" with no mention of rocket fire and and no indication of whether, or where, the shells had landed.

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
