Israel Blasts Palestinian Casino
by Yated Ne'eman Staff

An Israeli cannon shot into the third floor of the Jericho casino from where fire has emanated constantly over the past days. The casino used to bring in NIS 1 million per day from Israelis.

The gambling halls were not hit but the offices suffered damage. The Palestinians, according to Israel Radio, are fuming and say this has escalated the hostilities to a new level.

Up until now, Israel has avoided firing at the casino, which has been closed. Israel had blocked its residents from going to the casino during the current hostilities, so it had no reason to stay open.

Knowing that high Palestinian officials had interests in the casino, Israel has avoided shooting at it. Nonetheless, Palestinian gunmen shoot from it freely at Vered Yericho, a Jewish settlement in the area. On Sunday night Israel replied with force.
