Three projectiles were launched from the southern Gaza Strip Monday toward Israeli border communities, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Two of the projectiles fell inside Gaza, while a third was intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory. Warning sirens were activated in accordance with protocol.

Hebrew media reported that the rockets were aimed at the Kissufim area. No injuries were reported.

On May 21, Israeli air defenses intercepted a rocket from Gaza that had been heading for Ashkelon, according to the IDF. In another recent incident, a rocket was downed over southern Israel after being launched by Palestinian terrorists in the Strip.

“This is not a prank. It was an act of intimidation meant to spread fear,” Vince Gasparro, a Liberal parliamentarian, told JNS.
“We welcomed this traitor into our nation with open arms,” the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan said. “And he repaid us by building a bomb and helping our great enemy.”
The “failed approach” to lasting peace between the countries has “allowed terrorist groups to entrench and enrich themselves, undermine the authority of the Lebanese state and endanger Israel’s northern border,” said State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott.
“One has to wonder how that humble pie tastes for the Democrats today,” Sam Markstein of the Republican Jewish Coalition told JNS.
