[QUOTE]Missiles were fired at Haifa, the Carmel area and Hadera in the early hours of Friday morning. Sirens sounded in Haifa, Zichron Ya'akov and many other communities. Shortly before the barrage, Israeli warplanes and ships were reported to be attacking several targets in Gaza. Palestinian civilian casualties continued to rise Thursday on the third day of Operation Protective Edge, with no cease-fire in sight. Israeli jets bombed Gazan targets while the Gaza Interior Ministry sent out text messages to residents calling on them to disregard Israeli warnings to evacuate their homes. Twenty-six Palestinians were killed in airstrikes on Thursday, bringing the three-day death toll to 86 – most of them children (22), women (15) and the elderly (12) – with nearly 600 injured, said a Gaza Health Ministry official. Israelis took shelter from some 185 rockets, mainly in the center and northern Negev. A resident in Ashdod was critically injured when a rocket struck a car, and two soldiers moderately wounded by a mortar shell that landed in Eshkol Regional Council. These were the first serious injuries to Israelis during the operation.[/QUOTE] Source: [url]http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.604437[/url] those wondering why the Palestinian civilian death toll is so high [video=youtube;UXZEzbT0H1s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXZEzbT0H1s[/video] [video=youtube;CMO-_qEpgg0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMO-_qEpgg0[/video] [video=youtube;OFvYs1v_Ufk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFvYs1v_Ufk[/video]
