In their fight against terrorist activities in the region (giving priority to targets launching the Qassam rockets into Isreal), Israel Defense Forces reportedly killed at least 12 Palestinians on Wednesday from a barrage of air strikes in the Gaza Strip. Sadly the report also adds that three of these casualties were children, one of them a six month old baby.
The first missile attack was on a van (pictured above) carrying five Hamas militants. According to military intelligence, these men were planning to carry out an attack against Israel; they were also involved in firing Qassam rockets into Israel and planting explosives.
