⚔Kfar Giladi: 12 reservists killed by two rockets, and Haifa's "hardest day"

On 6 August 2006 two rockets hit a gathering of a command platoon of paratroop brigade reservists at kibbutz Kfar Giladi, killing 12 officers and soldiers and wounding 18, among them Brigadier Gary Tsur, in what a police officer called "the hardest incident since the war began"; a salvo of Raad 2 fell on Haifa (15 dead according to al-Ahed, three according to the Israeli media, and more than 200 wounded), five tanks and two bulldozers were destroyed, and the Northern Command's chief of staff admitted the forces' inability to advance in depth; in Ansar six were martyred in the house of Ibrahim Zein al-Din. Berri announced his rejection of the American–French draft and that he had been "relieved" of the file of the two captured soldiers.
