At least 70 Israeli Defense Force soldiers were injured, 3 of them seriously, when a single rocket hit their camp near the Gaza border. The improvised ordinance was fired from inside Gaza Strip, and fell on an unprotected army tent.
The parents of the injured soldiers protested about the policy of having such soft military accommodation in base so near the Hamas-controlled Gaza territory.
In the mean time, Hamas fighters celebrated what they called a ''successes in a fight against the Israeli occupation'', and their followers distributed sweets in the streets.
This is by far the most serious Hamas rocket attack in recent years, and will undoubtedly increase pressure on the Israeli Government to engage the Palestinian militia.
