"Israeli injured as mortars fall on Eshkol region near Gaza" Wow...how did they get whole mortars airborne? I mean, between the tube, base plate, tripod and sight, those things are heavy! /sarc
Pet peeve of mine...a "mortar" is a weapon system; tube, tripod, base plate and sight. The "mortar round" (or shell, which they got right in the lead sentence) is the ammo...the thing that flies through the air and goes boom when it hits the ground. I wasn't an 11C, but we had mortar sections or platoons attached to every troop/company I was assigned to.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Whatever they are firing into Israel, I’d bet they are firing from either a schoolyard, or rooftop of a school, a hospital, or a hospice.
