Palestinians Kill Israelis With Mortar Shells And Rockets

The Jerusalem Post reports:
Amnon Rosenberg, 51, a father of three from Kibbutz Nirim was killed, two others were seriously wounded and a fourth suffered light wounds noontime Thursday when a mortar shell fired by Palestinian terrorists from the Gaza Strip hit a factory in the western Negev kibbutz of Nir Oz...
Hamas claimed responsibility for the fatal attack. In a statement issued by the group, it pledged to "continue to strike the Zionist military locations and settlement colonies around the Gaza Strip as a response to the nonstop aggression against our people."...
The mortar shell attack was the latest in a growing number of lethal rocket attacks from the territory. In early May, Jimmy Kedoshim, 48, a member of Kibbutz Kfar Aza was killed by a mortar shell fired by Hamas terrorists, and Shuli Katz, 69, from Kibbutz Gvar'am, was killed by a Kassam rocket during a visit to Kibbutz Yesha.
On Saturday, two people were wounded by a Kassam rocket in a community in the western Negev's Eshkol region. Shrapnel from the rocket wounded a Thai chicken coop worker, partially severing his hand. A second man was lightly wounded.
On Wednesday, a rocket fired at the Nahal Oz fuel terminal wounded a Palestinian worker there.
