Palestinian groups fired two Qassam rockets from northern Gaza on Monday afternoon towards Israel, no injuries were reported and no damage was caused.
The first rocket was fired shortly after 4:00 pm, and landed near a road opposite a kibbutz belonging to the Shaar Hanegev Regional Council. The second Qassam was fired an hour and a half later, and landed in an open area.
The latter raised the tally of rockets to land in Israeli territory on Monday to three. Earlier a Qassam landed in an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council – causing no injuries or damage.
No terror group has claimed responsibility for the attacks thus far.
Despite the rockets, a Hamas official said the group is heeding Egypt's request it observe a 24-hour ceasefire, adding that it had begun on Sunday night.
The official said the Islamist group will consider extending the ceasefire. In Gaza however, sources say that the harsh weather conditions are reason for the drop in attacks.
