Qassam lands on Palestinian side of fence
After several days of relative calm, rocket fired from Gaza at western Negev; no injuries or damage reported

A Qassam rocket was fired from the northern Gaza Strip just before noon Friday, landing on Palestinian territory near the border fence. There were no reports of injuries or damage.
Palestinian sources in the Gaza Strip reported that the Hamas police had arrested two members of Fatah's military wing after the latter fired rockets into the western Negev. A Hamas source said that "the rocket fire threatens the truce.
This is an attempt to thwart the ceasefire rather than respond to Israel's actions."

A Qassam rocket was fired from the northern Gaza Strip just before noon Friday, landing on Palestinian territory near the border fence. There were no reports of injuries or damage.
The relative calm in Gaza vicinity communities has been maintained over the past few days. About a week ago, a Qassam rocket landed near the Kissufim crossing, without causing injuries or damage.
Two days earlier, a rocket landed
in an open area near a community in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council. There were no reports of injuries or damage.
Hamas has been trying to prove that it is fighting the factions firing Qassams. Abu Kusai, a spokesman for the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, said that following the firing of a rocket, Hamas men "kidnapped Fatah members at the Jabalya refugee camp." He demanded their immediate release.
