Rocket fired by Gaza terrorists explodes in agricultural filed within
Sha´ar Hanegev Regional Council
The Color Red siren was heard in several Israeli communities
surrounding the Gaza Strip Wednesday evening, just as many of the
region´s children were sitting by bonfires lighted in celebration of
Lag B´Omer.
A few seconds later, a Qassam rocket fired by Palestinian terrorists
from the Hamas-ruled coastal enclave exploded in an agricultural
field located within the Sha´ar Hanegev Regional Council. There were
no reports of injuries or damage.
The siren was also heard in the Netivot area.
The last rocket attack from Gaza took place a week ago, when a Qassam
landed in an open area in the Ashkelon Beach Regional Council. In
response, IDF aircraft attacked a tunnel in the northern Strip.
