Mortars fired into Eshkol Wednesday afternoon inspire IAF reaction; Security Cabinet meetings remain unconclusive.

The IAF responded quickly to seven mortars fired from Gaza Wednesday evening, striking rocket-launching terrorist cells in the southern Gaza Strip and continuing a general escalation in tensions since the bodies of three Israeli teenagers were discovered in the West Bank on Monday.
The mortar rounds were fired into the Eshkol Regional Council all striking in open territory. No injuries or damage was reported, but previous rockets over the last several days have struck cars and buildings including one factory in Sderot which burned to the ground after being hit.
The Israeli government has yet to agree to any specific military action in response to the murder of the teens and increasing rocket fire from Gaza after two inconclusive meetings of the security cabinet which lasted hours. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4537265,00.html
