Oh, and I must have missed the ongoing peaceful situation in Gaza, because terrorists fired 9 mortars and rockets yesterday from Gaza at Israeli kibbutzim. No injuries and the IDF responded by going after a couple of smuggling tunnels and a warehouse in Gaza.

The attack was a response to the firing of a rocket and mortar shells at western Negev communities on Thursday. The IDF stressed that Hamas was “a terrorist organization which is fully responsible for the events in the Strip.”

On Thursday evening, a Qassam rocket exploded near a kibbutz north of the Gaza Strip, shortly after two mortar shells exploded south of a kibbutz in Shaar Hanegev Regional Council.

A total of nine mortar shells and one rocket were fired at Israel on Thursday, causing no injuries or damage.

Attacks from Gaza have increased in recent days, luckily, without causing any damage or injures. Nine days ago, after a week and a half of relative calm, fire on the western Negev from Gaza resumed, when a Qassam hit an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council.
