According to sources in Gazoo, meanwhile, the IDF attacked 15 targets across the Gazoo Strip--including a military post near the Nuseirat Camp in the center of the strip--with four Hamas maimed in eastern Rafah. The Gazoo Interior Ministry called on civilians to stay away from the sites that were bombed. The rocket fired early in the morning did not activate the Code Red siren. There were no injuries and no damage caused as a result of the rocket. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the rocket attack, but the IDF said that it holds Hamas accountable for what happens in the territory. Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Israel had "no desire or intention to initiate any military move in the Gazoo Strip" but that it would not tolerate even a "drizzle" of rocket fire. "We will not get into a ping-pong situation of fire and counter-fire. I suggest Hamas take responsibility, impose order and calm down," Lieberman said.
