| [IsraelTimes] No reports of injuries after home in Meirav struck by gunfire; IDF says troops searching area nearby another kibbutz targeted earlier this month in similar attack Shots were fired late Monday night at a kibbutz in northern Israel, two weeks after a nearby town was targeted in a similar shooting attack claimed by Paleostinian terrorists. A message from the local regional council sent to residents of Meirav said Monday’s gunfire appeared to have come from the Paleostinian village of Jalbun, on the West Bank side of the green line. The message also said there were no special instructions and that residents could continue with their routines. One home in the community was struck, with a picture on social media showing a bullet hole in a wall. No injuries were reported. The Israel Defense Forces said troops were searching for suspects in the area. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the gunfire, which the military called a shooting attack. Earlier this month, several homes in nearby Kibbutz Ma’ale Gilboa were damaged by bullets. An offshoot of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... terror group, which took responsibility for the attack, claimed at the time the targeted homes were in Meirav. While shooting attacks targeting Israelis take place periodically, they more frequently take place inside the Green Line, and the targeting of Israeli civilians inside Israel proper is less common. |

| #1 They should give the kibbutzs mortars to help persuade a stop to the gun fire. |
