Itongadol/AJN.- Short time after Blair, Biden, Netanyahu and other world leaders leave northern Negev at culmination of Sharon\’s funeral, Palestinians fire rockets from Gaza.
Only a short time after leaders from Israel and the world left the northern Negev ranch where former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was laid to rest, two rockets were launched at the area. There were no injuries or damage reported.
At roughly 4 pm, two rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israel and landed in an open field in the vicinity of the Gaza border fence, only a few kilometers from where US Vice President Joe Biden and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair had just eulogized Sharon.
The Palestinians have reported that the IAF has attacked a Hamas military camp in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the center of the Gaza Strip.
The IDF Spokesperson Unit said that the IAF attacked a military compound in central Gaza Strip and terror infrastructure in the southern part of the strip.
Among other dignitaries present at Sharon\’s service at the Sharon family Sycamore Ranch were Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, senior government minister, Czech Prime Minister Jiří Rusnok, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Russian Duma Chair Sergey Naryshkin.
US Vice President Joe Biden fondly recalled his encounters with former prime minister Ariel Sharon at the funeral, reminiscing about the time that he, a young senator, had been summoned to the famous Israeli warrior\’s office.
