In his Gaza home, Ramez al-Madhoun listens Saturday to the thunder of Israeli tank shells battering the neighborhood -- some a little less than a mile away, some closer.
A few miles south of him, Gazan militants' rockets stream into the sky -- about seven in 15 minutes -- toward Israel.
The tanks are gunning for tunnels leading into Israel and the Gazan attack squads that use them.
Al-Madhoun says he feels safer during Israeli airstrikes.
"If it was an airstrike, it would be more of a precision strike, but the tanks shells are more dangerous, they are destroying more than the airstrikes," he says.
Every 30 seconds to a minute a shell comes down in or around Beit Lahya. The local imam has told residents to stay home and pray, because the shelling has made it to dangerous to go outside, al-Madhoun says.
Since morning, 11 more people have died in Gaza, according to the health ministry. The toll there has reached 318 since the Israeli military operation Protective Edge began July 8, the ministry says.
Most of those killed have been civilians, according to the United Nations.
Attacking Israel
In southeastern Israel, a rocket from Gaza crashed into Negev, killing an Israeli early Saturday, the Israel Defense Force reports. The rocket wounded four others, a hospital spokesman says.
