Day 12 of Palestinian missile offensive from Gaza

The Israeli air strike killed 4 armed Palestinians on their way to blow up the Karni crossing through which supplies reach Gaza, Sunday, Nov. 16. The missiles landed outside a kibbutz.

Hamas said Saturday every Israeli military strike in Gaza would be countered by long-range (25-kilometer) Iran-supplied Grad artillery rocket attacks on Ashkelon.
