Gaza’s Muslim Arabs continued to fire salvoes of Kassam rockets Tuesday in an effort to kill more Israelis and, according to Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, try to pull the IDF into a full-scale conflict in the Gaza Strip.

Two Kassams landed near Ashkelon as the terrorists made good on their threat to hit population centers further afield than the Negev town of Sderot, their main target to date.

Rockets were also fired toward Sderot, with one hitting a residential neighborhood and a second slamming into a field.

Earlier Tuesday the Israeli Air Force attacked two Hamas terrorist training camps in Gaza, wounding at least six people, according to “Palestinian” sources. A number of buildings were damaged.
