by (IsraelNN.com) Terrorist attacks on the western Negev continued on Wednesday night with a mortar shell attack on the Kerem Shalom crossing and four rocket attacks near Ashkelon. No one was injured in the mortar attack.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who is currently visiting Japan, was updated by phone regarding the barrage of rockets on Sderot and surrounding towns and the death of a Sapir College student in a rocket attack. Sources close to Olmert said the rocket attacks were a response to an IAF strike that killed five Hamas terrorists near Khan Yunis on Wednesday morning. "We have already said that there is a war going on in the south," they said.
