IDF officials announced the rocket that killed Kibbutz Kfar Aza resident Jimmy Kedoshim on Friday, close to candle lighting time, was manufactured in Iran and sent to Gaza via Philadelphi Route.

IDF officials report that Iran is supplying large quantities of military grade weapons to terrorists in Gaza in addition to training terrorists in Iran and sending instructors to Gaza, all towards assisting Hamas in stepping up attacks against Israel.

At least 28 Kassam rockets and mortar shells pounded southern Israeli residents on Friday and Shabbos, with residents of Kfar Aza calling on the government and the IDF to take action to bring an end to the warfare.

“We are ducks in a shooting range,” stated neighbors of Jimmy Kedoshim after the fatal rocket killed the 48-year-old father of three.

One Kassam slammed into a Sderot home, resulting in heavy property damage. Fortunately, there was no loss of life or injuries.

Attacking terrorists in Gaza from the air, the air force following the fatal Friday evening attack targeted and eliminated at least six Hamas terrorists, leaving others injured.

Addressing a Tel Aviv forum, Defense Minister Ehud Barak stated “we must deal wisely” with the situation towards bringing an end to the rocket attacks. (Yechiel Spira – YWN Israel)
