IDF officers say Zikkim training base is adequately fortified
By Mijal Grinberg and Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondents, and Agencies

Israel Defense Forces officers said Tuesday evening that the level of fortification at the Zikkim basic training base is adequate in comparison to that of other places surrounding the Gaza Strip.

Earlier Tuesday, dozens of worried relatives of soldiers from throughout the country came to the Zikkim base, demanding that the army take action to protect soldiers from the threat of further rocket fire from the nearby Gaza Strip.

An early morning Qassam rocket strike on the base left 69 soldiers wounded Tuesday, one of them critically. Four others were seriously hurt, and another 10 were moderately wounded. The remainder were lightly hurt, many of them suffering mainly from shock.

An IDF spokesperson announced that two additional fortified cement structures were placed in the base, and that the fortification of the base will be accelerated.

Parents beseeched officers at Zikkim to house soldiers in protected buildings on the base, rather than in vulnerable tents.

Others demanded that the army immediately transfer the soldiers, who are non-combat troops undergoing basic training in Zikkim, to bases beyond range of Palestinian rockets and far from the border with the Gaza Strip.

"For heaven's sake, you brought them to Gaza and they're sitting ducks with no place to hide," said Benny Cohen of Ashdod, whose son Itzik serves on the base. "My boy hides under his bed when there's a Color Red [warning of imminent rocket attack], or else they're ordered into the latrine or the dining hall."

The rocket strike was carried out by the radical Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committees.

Hamas on Tuesday hailed the rocket attack as a "victory from God." Hours after the pre-dawn salvo, Israel Air Force aircraft struck open areas of northern Gaza, Army Radio reported. Palestinian sources said that at least four Gazans were hurt in the air strike, two of them hospitalized.

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said after the strike that "We consider this a victory from God for the resistance. We consider the resistance as the legitimate right of the Palestinians to defend themselves and restore their rights."

A second Qassam struck an area of the western Negev later in the morning, causing damage but no injuries.

Late Tuesday evening, Palestinian militants fired two more Qassam rockets at the western Negev. A short while later, Palestinian witnesses said the IDF targeted a Qassam rocket launcher in the northern Gaza Strip. No one was injured, the witnesses said.

While the rocket hit an empty tent used only in the daytime for administrative purposes, many soldiers were hit by shrapnel while sleeping in adjacent tents. The base is located about one kilometer inside Israeli territory. A warning alarm did sound moments before the rocket hit the tent, however many of the soldiers were sleeping and did not reach a bomb shelter in time. In the wake of the attack, roughly 25 Magen David Adom ambulances rushed to the base in the northern Negev.

The injury toll was the highest ever sustained in a single Palestinian rocket attack.

The strike came amid growing calls for a more aggressive Israeli response to the near-daily rocket barrages out of Gaza. While placing the blame for the attack on Hamas' shoulders, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni nonetheless said Tuesday that Israel also has non-military means with which to respond.
