ISRAEL CONTINUES TO PURSUE ROCKET LAUNCHERS

IDF Operation in Gaza Targets Rocket Crews - Hanan Greenberg
As the IDF operation in Gaza continued, army officials have expressed satisfaction with the results so far. At least seven Kassam rocket cells were hit in the course of, or immediately following, launching rockets at Israel. An IDF Southern Command officer said, "We notice that Kassam launchers are moving southward, to less effective areas, and this stems from our activity." A senior IDF officer said that the operation had severely damaged Hamas' Kassam-launching infrastructure in northern Gaza, particularly in the areas of production and transportation. (Ynet News)
