Israel - Rockets pound South; 11 border guard officers injured.(Ynet).Eleven Border Guard officers were wounded Tuesday night as a result of rocket fire on the western Negev. One officer sustained moderate injuries, while the others were lightly hurt. The officers were rushed to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon. Hospital officials said they were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit suffering from shrapnel and blast injuries. A short while later a Qassam rocket hit the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council, but no one was hurt. Ten more Qassams were lobbed into the western Negev overnight Wednesday. Two of the rockets landed in an Eshkol Regional Council community, but caused no injuries. However, a packing facility was damaged. The alert level in the area was raised once again. In response to the rocket fire, Israeli aircraft attacked seven targets across the Gaza Strip overnight. Palestinian sources in the Hamas-ruled territory said no one was hurt in the strikes. Palestinian terrorists in Gaza fired over 50 rockets and mortar shells at Israel's western Negev region since Tuesday afternoon. The Home Front Command instructed the residents of the Gaza vicinity communities to stay in very close proximity to shelters and other fortified structures. Defense Minister Ehud Barak convened the defense establishment's top officials for a situation assessment. A Defense Ministry source said that "a wide range of retaliatory actions are under review."Hmmm.....Aren't you glad that 'Emperor' Obama overruled Congress and gave these terrorists more money?Read the full story here.
