SIXTH INCIDENT IN 24 HOURS: IDF SHELLED FROM GAZA:

Terrorists in the Gaza Strip fired several mortar shells at IDF engineers operating on the Israeli side of the border on Wed. 4 May 2016, as tensions in the south continue to rise. The mortar strikes bring the total number of similar breaches of the ceasefire by Gazan terrorists in two days to six. Early the previous evening, terrorists opened fire on IDF forces just hours after PM Netanyahu made an impromptu visit to troops stationed at the border with Hamas-ruled Gaza. Israeli air strikes hit four Hamas sites in Gaza Wednesday night, the military said, following air raids earlier in the day.
