| Ma'an -- Seven died when Israeli shells hit the home of Al-Qassam Brigades leader Maher Zaquot in Beit Lahiya north of Gaza City just before five o'clock Monday evening. Witnesses reported that the house had been evacuated shortly before the shelling began, and those killed were passersby on their way home or to local grocery stores to buy food. The shelling also demolished the nearby houses. Shortly after the home of an Al-Aqsa Brigades leader was targeted in Jabaliya and the home of Hamas leader Ayman Balksam in the same neighborhood. Several resistance activists were killed in the two attacks. The overall death toll of the strikes, which began at 11:30am Saturday morning is 345, while about 1,000 Palestinians are estimated to be injured and more than 200 critically so. |

| #4 #3 The death toll isn't the most important point. Rockets ain't much good without rocket operators. |

| #3 The death toll isn't the most important point. IDF estimates that Hamas rocket arsenal is down by only about 33% as of evening local time today. It needs to get down much further. Hamas rocket hit the Beer Sheva area afternoon today. |
