Qassam hits Gaza vicinity community
Rocket fired by Palestinian gunmen lands in open area between Sdot Negev, Sha'ar Hanegev regional council; no injuries reported
A Qassam rocket fired from the northern Gaza Strip landed in an open area between the Sdot Negev and Sha'ar Hanegev regional councils. There were no reports of injuries or damage.
On Thursday evening, a rocket hit an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council without causing injuries or damage.
"The rocket landed outside the community's limits," said Niki Levy, the council's deputy security officer. "The Color Red alert system was not activated, and luckily there were no injuries."
On Thursday morning, two Qassam rockets exploded in the Sderot area. One landed inside a house's backyard. A mother and her son were treated for shock, and two adjacent houses were damaged.
Several hours later, the Israel Defense Forces attacked weapon smuggling tunnels in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah.
