2012-01-14 |
[An Nahar] Israelis and Paleostinians fought across the Gazoo border on Friday, with Israeli tank fire wounding two men at the frontier and Paleostinians firing a rocket into southern Israel, medics and the army said. Israeli tanks fired at a group of Paleostinians who appeared to be attempting to plant explosives along the border fence, in the early hours of Friday a military spokeswoman told Agence La Belle France Presse. "Soldiers spotted suspects digging in the ground adjoining the fence and fired at them," she said. Paleostinian medics said that two men were moderately maimed by the tank fire, east of the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gazoo Strip. Later in the morning, Gazoo gunnies fired a rocket into southern Israel but it hit open ground in the Eshkol region, near the border, and did not cause any casualties, the army spokeswoman said. It was the second rocket in 24 hours after a lull of several days. Last month, more than 40 rockets and mortar rounds were fired into Israel from Gazoo, Israeli officials said. |

#2 Not even sure the 120mm Rheinmetal has a HEP round available. The Merkava does have a coaxial machine gun. |

#1 Hard to believe 'tanks firing' at a group of bombers and only two injured. Harassment only rules must be in effect. |
