The IDF counted 122 rockets hitting Israel and 26 intercepted by Iron Dome.
Which means that 44 rockets fell short on Tuesday somewhere in Gaza, landing on who knows who, much fewer than the 150 I calculated that fell short on Thursday.Of course, 44 rockets can do a lot of damage and kill a lot of people. Reporters on the scene in Gaza have yet to talk about this or even admit the possibility that some of the casualties they are highlighting may have been killed quite directly by Hamas or other terror groups.
The PCHR has also not yet admitted a single errant rocket.
They counted at least 7 "militants" killed on Monday, however:
At approximately 19:30, an Israeli drone fired a missile at a member of a Palestinian armed group in the north of al-Nussairat refugee camp, killing him. He was identified as Mohammed Yasser 'Ali Hamdan, 24.Note that the "civilian" is the brother of the terrorist, hanging out with other terrorists.
At approximately 12:50, an Israeli drone fired a missile at a motorbike in al-Qarara village, north of Khan Yunis. As a result, a member of a Palestinian armed group, 'Abdullah Mahmoud Baraka, 24, from 'Abassan village, who was riding the motorbike was seriously wounded. He was pronounced dead at 14:35.
At approximately 15:55, an Israeli warplane launched a missile at a room on an agricultural plot in 'Abssan village, east of Khan Yunis. The room was destroyed and a member of a Palestinian armed group, Tamer Salem Musallam Qudaih, 37, was killed.
At approximately 22:05, an Israeli drone fired a missile at a number of members of a Palestinian armed group in al-Mawasi area in the west of Khan Yunis. As a result, 2 members were killed: Kamal 'Aatef Yousef Abu Taha, 19; and Ismail Nabil Ahmed Abu Hatab, 21.
At approximately 20:50, an Israeli drone fired 2 missiles at a number of Palestinians in al-Satar al-Gharbi area.
