The Israel Air Force retaliated Saturday night for a rocket attack on Ashkelon earlier in the evening. According to local Gaza sources, Israeli fighter pilots attacked terrorists traveling in a vehicle near Khan Yunis. All Israeli personnel returned safely to base following the attack. The air strike, carried out in southern Gaza, came less than an hour after a Qassam rocket was launched from the region at southern Israel. No one was physically injured and no damage was reported in the attack on Ashkelon. Shortly after the IAF air strike, there was a second terror attack on southern Israel. Gaza terrorists fired mortar shells at an IDF outpost near the Gaza security fence. Soldiers searched for the terrorists, but they managed to escape. The terrorist group involved in the attack is thus far unidentified.
