An Israeli soldier reacts as an Israeli mobile artillery piece fires towards the Gaza Strip at a position near Kibbutz Nahal Oz, just outside the northern Gaza Strip, Friday June 30, 2006. Israel's air force has struck more than 30 targets in Gaza in the past 24 hours, hitting roads, bridges and the strip's only power plant. The army has also fired hundreds of artillery shells. The offensive is meant to pressure Hamas-linked militants to release Cpl. Gilad Shalit, 19, who was captured Sunday when Gaza militants tunneled under the border, attacking an Israeli outpost and killing two other soldiers.
