At least 90 rockets were launched at Israel until midnight, officials reported earlier. Attacks continued during the night, with mortar shells and Kassam rockets striking areas in southern Israel.
The Katyusha rocket that landed in Gan Yavne on Monday night represented Hamas’ ability to strike deeper into Israel as the terror organization threatened. The ability to strike Yavne is in line with the assessment provided by Israeli intelligence officials.
In Monday’s rocket attacks, two people were killed, three seriously wounded, one listed in moderate-to-serious condition, and the others light and being treated for hysteria.
Since the start of Operation Cast Lead on Shabbos, December 27, 2008, four people were killed in rocket attacks;
1. Beber Vaknin, 58, from Netivot
2. Handi al-Mahdi, 27, from Rahat
3. Irit Sheetrit, 39, from Ashdod
4. An IDF warrant officer, Master Sergeant Lutfi Nasraldin from Dalyat el Carmel Nachal Oz attack

#2 your comment was uncalled for.. these soldiers are protecting jewish life.. many of those soldiers are frum boys who make sure to put their tefillin on and daven before going out to war..you might not agree with the state.. but for a country to just sit and let their citizens get rockets day after day after day for 7 years without retaliation is ridiculous.
In response to Yakovh-Without these soldiers fighting there would be no Israel! Hashem has always wanted us to have our own army in Eretz Yisroel, beginning with Yehoshua! It is clear to all that Hashem is activating miracles since these rockets are hitting Eretz Yisrael and there isn’t greater damage. Animals like Hamas think one thing- kill Jews. Ir doesn’t matter which type of Jew you are. Zionistic, or Neturei Karta-if you are a Jew they want you dead. The secular Jews in charge today were put there by Hashem, too. It is His infinite mercy that they finally agreed to attack Hamas-these attacks have been getting worse and worse. The proper label for today’s leaders are leftists-NOT Zionists. Very few true Zionists are left in Israel’s administration. A Zionist government would have loved its country enough to protect it from day one of the missle attacks and not bothered to try to make peace with those whose charter is out to kill Jews.
