Twenty-one rockets were fired into Israel today by Palestinian armed forces in the Gaze Strip today, injuring thre. Five others were treated for shock.
The two Palestinians killed belonged to the Islamic Jihad group, which said in a statement to reporters in Gaza that it launched most of the rockets. The IDF took responsibility for one death, saying troops shot an armed man, while saying the second victim may have been killed by a stray rocket.
Negotiators for Israel and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas held talks in Jerusalem today aimed at a peace agreement and creating a Palestinian state. Gaza is controlled by the Hamas movement, Abbas’s rival, which opposes talks and calls for the destruction of the Jewish state.
