Israeli police say a man in his 30s has been killed by fire from the
Gaza Strip, the first Israeli death in more than a week of fighting.
Police
spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said that Israeli man was delivering food to
soldiers Tuesday at the Erez Crossing with Gaza when he was struck by a
mortar.
Nearly 200 Palestinians have been killed in strikes in
Gaza since Israel launched the campaign over a week ago to stop rocket
fire at its citizens.
Gaza militants have fired more than 1,100
rockets toward Israel in the fighting. Mostly thanks to its "Iron Dome"
defense system, no Israelis were killed till Tuesday.
Rosenfeld
said at least 15 Israelis, including several children, have been injured
by the Palestinian rocket fire since the fighting began.
