kaboom!in Israeli territory.
The army said jets struck a Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, military base in the south of the territory and underground infrastructure in the north. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
None were hurt by the earlier projectile attack. The launch set off rocket warning sirens in the Eshkol Regional Council, where Hebrew media reports said it fell in an open field.
The incident came after thousands of Paleostinians rioted along the Gazoo border and two men who the IDF said were carrying a knife and a hand grenade were nabbed
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
after crossing into Israel from the northern strip. The two infiltrators who broke through the security fence evaded capture for approximately half an hour, forcing the Israel Defense Forces to bring additional troops to the area and local communities to go on high alert and call up their volunteer security forces. Upon their capture the two were found to be carrying a hand grenade and a knife.
During the border festivities, Paleostinians threw rocks and improvised explosives at Israeli soldiers on the other side of the security fence. The Israeli troops responded to the estimated 8,000 with tear gas and, in some cases, live fire, the military said.
The Hamas-run Gazoo health ministry reported that one person was killed and at least 48 Paleostinians had been injured by Israeli fire.
Ministry front man Ashraf al-Qudra said 23-year-old Tamer Arafat succumbed to his wounds after being shot in the head.
