Two rockets launched from Gaza on Sunday morning landed in open areas
near Netivot, causing no damage or injuries, Ynet reported.
After weeks of relative calm along the southern border, the Sunday
attack is the latest incident in a flare-up that has lasted several
days.
The Israeli Air Force struck a terror cell in southern Gaza Saturday,
thwarting an imminent rocket attack, according to the IDF
Spokesperson’s Unit.
Two Palestinians who were riding on a motorcycle were injured in the
strike and were taken to a hospital in Rafah, according to
Palestinian sources.
A statement released by the Spokesperson’s Unit said that the IDF
will not tolerate any attempt to harm the citizens of Israel, and
that it will act against anyone who uses terror against the State of
Israel.
“The Hamas terrorist organization is the address, and [the
organization] bears the responsibility,” read the statement.
Earlier Saturday, a rocket was discovered by the IDF in an open area
in Eilat. It was apparently launched at the same time as another
rocket that exploded overnight Wednesday in a residential area in the
southern Israeli city.
On Tuesday, the IDF fired at a suspected terrorist in northern Gaza
who was crawling toward the Israeli border. The man was presumed to
have been planning an attack. (© 2012 THE TIMES OF ISRAEL 04/08/12)
