medical sources, at least 80 Palestinians have sustained 
injuries during the operation, which is ongoing as of 1400 L

wounds from IDF tank fire.  Elsewhere in Gaza, the IAF fired 
several rockets into a building in northern Gaza, leveling 
the entire three-story structure. 
 
2.    (SBU) At least seven Qassam rockets were launched from 
northern Gaza toward Sderot and the Western Negev overnight

house in search of wanted al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades activist 
Hamada Shaker.  The IDF shot and wounded Shaker as he
