One person was killed in Kibbutz Kfar Aaza Friday evening after a mortar shell fired form Gaza hit a house in the kibbutz.

Two mortars fired by Palestinian gunmen landed in the kibbutz, one fell close to the local community hall and the other landed on a house.

Three people were wounded in the attack; one sustained moderate injuries and the other two were lightly injured.

MK Shai Hermseh, a member of the kibbutz, said that the man killed was inside his house at the time of the attack. "This situation is unbearable, not fortifying our houses or taking any action, we live in a firing range," he stated.

Three Qassam rockets and several mortars have been fired at the area since the morning hours.



What can any one say about the situation in Gaza that has not already been said. When President Peres admitted that he had no idea the Palestinians would act the way they have after the retreat from Gaza, I would have liked to ask him. "Well what do we do now"
