Rockets, mortar shells hit south
Attacks continue as Palestinians fire rockets, mortar shells on Shaar HaNegev Regional Council; no injuries or damage reported
Tension rose in the south once again on Tuesday as three Qassam rockets were fired from Gaza. The rockets landed in open areas in Shaar HaNegev Regional Council. Two mortar shells followed the rocket barrage. No injuries or damages were reported.
On Sunday two Qassam rockets were fired at Sderot, causing a scare among residents of the Negev as they landed after the "Color Red" anti-rocket alert system failed to go off. No injuries were reported in the attack.
The IDF said that the attack was unusual as it came from deep within the Strip, as opposed to the area close to the border fence. More than 10 rockets were fired throughout Sunday.
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said over the weekend that "there is no such thing as a partial lull – it's either there or it isn't, and today it isn't there. Hamas is the responsible party, and the address for Israel's response."
