The IDF has been stepping up its airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Saturday, the fourth day of Operation Pillar of Defense. Rocket fire from the Strip persists, with Gaza terrorists directly hitting an apartment building in Ashdod and three other houses, injuring 10. Israel deploys a fifth Iron Dome battery, this time in central Israel, where it can protect the residents of Tel Aviv and its environs. The Palestinians appear to be taking the first steps in a diplomatic push, via Egypt, toward a ceasefire. Palestinians report 40 killed from Israeli airstrikes. Israeli death toll is three.
