More 'ceasefire' fire from Hamas

On Sunday Gaza terrorists fired three kassam rockets and five mortar shells, and also shot at Israeli troops stationed near the Kissufim Crossing. A civilian and two soldiers in Israel suffered light wounds on Sunday when terrorists from Gaza fired four mortar shells on the Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council. The Israel Air Force struck rocket-launching areas in northern Gaza on Sunday night, as well as a Hamas security building in central Gaza. Targets also included six smuggling tunnels and a Hamas outpost, according to a statement from the Israeli government. Arab sources in Gaza said there were no casualties in the late Sunday night bombing.

Despite the consistent Palestinian violations of the ceasefire, aid to Gaza has continued:
Despite continuing rocket fire, mortar shelling, and terror attacks from Gaza against Israeli civilians and soldiers, the Ministry of Defense revealed Sunday that over 47,427 tons of aid have been transferred to Gaza since the end of Operation Cast Lead.

The aid included food supplies, medical supplies, dairy and meat products and grain for livestock. Some of the aid came from international sources – mainly from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and the nations of Egypt and Jordan.

In addition, 3,017,900 liters of diesel fuel were transferred to Gaza for its power station, and 1,053 tons of gas was pumped into Gaza for domestic use. Israel has also allowed dozens of Gazans into Israel for medical care since the end of the military operation.

The aid has continued despite terror attacks starting last Tuesday when terrorists detonated a bomb near the Gaza border, killing one soldier and wounding three. On Thursday terrorists fired two Kassam rockets at Israel, and a Grad rocket was fired at Ashkelon on Saturday.
