Palestinian policemen fired mortar shells from a school in Han-Yunis near Gaza.

Palestinian policemen found a way to prevent IDF from responding to Palestinian mortar shells fired at Israeli settlements in the Gaza-Strip: fire shells from a school, a place the IDF will never attack back. And if they do, the Palestinians can claim a propaganda victory and tell the western media that the Idf fired at "innocent school children."

Several days ago Palestinian policemen entered an elementary school inside Han-Yunis and announced a break of two hours.

After the children were evacuated, the policemen positioned their mortar shells launchers, shot a few mortars at Israeli houses in settlement's and got out of the place quickly. Few minutes after the shooting, the pupils where called to come back inside the building. As the Palestinian policemen assumed, IDF did not return fire.
