del.icio.us Digg It!  new Last update - 16:31 11/11/2007 Qassam strikes cowshed in western Negev, killing 7 cattle By The Associated Press tags: IDF, Gaza Strip, Qassams Seven cows were killed and four were wounded when a Qassam rocket struck their shed in Kibbutz Zikim in the western Negev on Sunday morning. Three people were treated for shock at the scene. The dairy manager said the Qassam landed just a few meters from a group of workers. "We were lucky no one was physically injured," he said. The manager added that five cattle had been killed in the attack and another two were euthanized for humanitarian reasons after suffering serious injuries. Advertisement "The vet crew is trying to save four cows right now, who were about to calve," he said, adding that two of the dairy's highest-yielding cattle had died in the blast. "The electric wiring and plumbing are damaged and the cows are suffering from shock which will mean they eat less," he said. "That means they will produce less milk." A Qassam rocket and a mortar shell were fired at the western Negev on Saturday evening. Both fell in open fields and caused no injuries or damage. Fifteen mortar shells were fired from the Gaza Strip over the weekend. Some landed on open Israeli territory, and rest landed inside the Strip. Israeli forces on Saturday killed two Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and wounded three others in three separate incidents, Palestinian sources and the Israel Defense Forces said. The first incident, which resulted in two deaths, occurred after troops noticed two Palestinian youths crawling toward the fence (to avoid detection, said the IDF) separating the Gaza Strip and Israel. The incident happened near Al-Bureij refugee camp in the Strip's central region. The two slain youths, Jihad and Bilal al Nabhin, 16- and 17-years old, were shot at night, and Gaza rescue forces reported they found their bodies in the morning. Palestinian sources said the two youths did not belong to any militant organization. The second incident was the result of an attack by IDF ground forces on a car carrying Islamic Jihad militants near the Jabalya refugee camp north of Gaza City. One militant was wounded, Palestinian sources said. An air strike minutes later targeted a rocket launcher ready to fire, the military said, wounding two civilians, according to Palestinian health officials. Two rockets were fired from the site at southern Israel earlier in the day, the IDF said.
