Islamic Outreach, Part XLV

From a previous post:

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis plunged head-first into Mideast peace-making Sunday, welcoming the Israeli and Palestinian presidents to the Vatican for a remarkable evening of peace prayers just weeks after the last round of U.S.-sponsored negotiations collapsed.
Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas joked and embraced in the foyer of the Vatican hotel where Francis lives and later in the Vatican gardens, where they joined Francis in presiding over a sunset invocation of Jewish, Christian and Muslim prayers.

A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip was intercepted on Thursday night by an Iron Dome battery deployed in the Ashkelon area.

Since the start of Operation Brother's Keeper last week following the kidnapping of three Israeli teens in Gush Etzion by Hamas terrorists, three rockets fired from Gaza toward Ashkelon have been shot down by the Iron Dome.

As Operation Brother's Keeper has progressed in Judea and Samaria, the Israel Defense Forces has also been keeping its eye on other sectors, including Gaza and Israel's northern borders. The Israeli Air Force has responded forcefully to rocket fire from Gaza several times over the past week, including on Thursday night, when IAF aircraft targeted three concealed rocket launchers in northern Gaza, a terror activity center in central Gaza and a weapons storage site in southern Gaza.
