A rocket fired from the northern Gaza Strip exploded in an open field in the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council on Saturday. A short while later a mortar shell hit an open field in the Eshkol Regional Council. No injuries or damage were reported in either incident.

An Air Force aircraft attacked a vehicle transporting the terrorist. Batash's nephew was also killed in the incident and six people were injured.
