Palestinian Rocket Fire Drops, Israeli Toll at 3 
-------------------------------------------------


 
As Israel's assault continues, Palestinian rocket firings dropped to
around 75 on Sunday, after a two-day average of 230 rockets. Three
Israelis have been killed and around 80 wounded by Palestinian rocket
fire so far. According to Israeli government statistics, Israel has
carried out more than 1,350 attacks since launching the offensive last
week. More than 540 Palestinian rockets have fallen inside Israel, all
but 35 in open areas. Egyptian officials have been holding separate
talks for a ceasefire with Palestinian and Israeli representatives in
Cairo, but a deal is not expected at least for several days. Israel has
even called up reservist troops as it prepares for a potential ground
invasion of Gaza.
