There were no injuries.
Police said two of the mortar shells had phosphorous warheads, which can set fires or severely burn people. Israeli warplanes responded by bombing a smuggling tunnel along the Gaza-Egypt border, the military said. Hamas officials said one person was killed and four wounded.

And regardless of whatever Israel and the fake-nation leaders of Palestine decide to do - and no matter what Israel gives up (short of voluntary suicide) will end the fighting.
