Two Palestinian operatives from the Popular Resistance Committees were killed on Wednesday night when the IAF fired a missile at a car in the central Gaza Strip, near the Bureij refugee camp, Palestinians reported. The IDF said that the targeted vehicle was loaded with weapons. Moments earlier, with over 50 Kassam rockets striking Israel on Wednesday alone, Defense Minister Ehud Barak vowed to increase the pressure on the Gaza Strip until the terrorism stops. "We will increase the pressure on the Gaza Strip in order to bring an end to the Kassam rocket fire," Barak said during an opening speech at a Naval graduation ceremony in Haifa.
