Motzei Shabbat Roundup

Shabbat was rather noisy for some. Here's a roundup of events from the past day...

- 14 mortars hit the Kissufim checkpoint between Gaza and Israel in Southern Israel.

- Qassam rocket hits South of Ashkelon

- 2 Qassam rockets hit Ashkelon Municipal Region

- Qassam misfires and lands in Gaza

- Palestinians claim a 16 year old demonstrator was killed by live IDF gunfire in Shechem -- the IDF is investigating the claim, since they claim they did not use live fire to quash the riots. Rotter net claims he was shot from behind with 7.62 caliber ammunition (AK47) which would mean he was shot by Palestinians. (source)
