| [IsraelTimes] Rocket salvo hits Ashdod overnight 4 missiles intercepted, but one hits residential area, causing heavy damage; 11 Palestinians killed in Gaza overnight, 7 of them outside a mosque; 3 IDF soldiers injured in shootout with armed Palestinians in northern Gaza Strip; UN chief heads to region in bid for ceasefire The Times of Israel is liveblogging events as they unfold through Saturday, the twelfth day of Operation Protective Edge. On Friday, Israel's ground offensive on Hamas targets in Gaza gathered pace, with the IDF reporting it had found numerous terror tunnels, killed 20 Hamas gunmen and captured 13 more. Palestinian sources put the total Gaza death toll to date at almost 300. IDF Chief Benny Gantz said Hamas's terror infrastructure was being set back years, and Justice Minister Tzipi Livni said Israel would restore security and calm for its civilians one way or another; she pointedly did not rule out bringing down Hamas. |

| #3 Just read about Hamas newest terror weapon: The Suicide Donkey. I'm not making that up. It's at the UKTelegraph. I am... extremely amused. |

| #2 UN chief heads to region in bid for ceasefire Why bother? Even if Israel accepts the ceasefire, Hamas will ignore it, and then complain that Israel is the aggressor. |

| #1 Moosa Abu Marzouk confirms that most of the homes hit by the IDF since Operation Protective Edge began belong to Hamas members. The next time some "progressive" complains about indiscriminate Israeli bombing, remind them of what Hamas' own officials are admitting. Al |
