Qassam lands in Negev, no injuries
Day after communities somberly marked anniversary of Kfar Aza resident Jimmy Kdoshim from mortar shell, Palestinians fire rocket into southern Israel
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip launched a Qassam rocket into Israel on Sunday evening, reminding the region that the relative calm is often misleading. Just yesterday the residents of Kfar Aza marked a year since the death of Jimmy Kdoshim, who was killed from a mortar shell just outside his home.
This evening's rocket, launched from northern Gaza, landed in an open area near a kibbutz between the Sedot HaNegev and Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Councils.
No injuries were reported and no damage was caused.
The most recent incident in the region occurred last Wednesday, when the IDF struck three weaponry
smuggling tunnels along the Philadelphi Route, near the border town of Rafah. The attack was the third such operation in the space of a week.
This passing April has been the quietest month in regards to terror attacks against southern Israel since the completion of Operation Cast Lead in January.
In all the army recorded six Qassam rockets and two mortar shells launched against Israeli communities by Palestinian terror groups. This compared to 73 launches in March and 88 launches in February.
