JERUSALEM, May 29-- Palestinian militants fired dozens of mortars, projectiles and rockets into Israel throughout Tuesday before Israel launched a wide-scale airstrike on Gaza, as tensions rise following weeks of lethal Israeli fire at Gaza protestors. The Israeli military said in a statement that most of the mortars, projectiles and rockets were intercepted by its Iron Dome anti-missile system. Later on Tuesday, Israel reported that four people were injured. One of them is a civilian in his forties who was injured in his shoulder and ear by shrapnel. The other three are soldiers wounded by shrapnel outside their military position of Sufa near Gaza. One of them sustained moderate injuries and two were lightly wounded. |
