The Israel Air Force bombed targets in the Gazoo Strip late Tuesday after two soldiers were maimed in a mortar bomb attack by hard boys.... and everybody was just so surprised...
Air-to-ground missiles struck several targets in central and southern Gazoo, but no injuries were reported.
IDF Spokesperson's office confirmed that Israeli F16s targeted a smuggling tunnel in the town of Rafah under the border between southern Gazoo Strip and Egypt. The tunnel was reportedly destroyed.
The planes also hit an empty building east of the southern Gazoo Strip city of Khan Younis. The building is close to the border fence between southeast Gazoo Strip and Israel.
The area had witnessed clashes between Islamist hard boys and Israeli soldiers, during which one hard boy was killed and an Israeli soldier was injured Monday evening.
Sources also said that Israeli F16s attacked a deserted area in central Gazoo Strip. The Israeli airstrikes were believed to be retaliatory attacks to an earlier mortar-shell attack on southern Israel.
Paleostinian hard boys in Gazoo fired two mortar bombs into Israel earlier on Tuesday, wounding two IDF soldiers. Shortly after the attack, six Israeli tanks crossed into Gazoo and one fired a shell at a house near Khan Younis. No casualties were reported.
The mortar attack was launched a day after Israeli soldiers killed a hard boy who the army said was planting explosives along the Israel-Gazoo border.
The Israeli military says more than 115 rockets and mortar shells have been fired from the Gazoo Strip at Israeli territory since the beginning of the year.
Israel launched a three-week war against Gazoo's Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, rulers in December 2008 with the declared aim of curtailing such attacks.
