Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip fired three rockets at southern Israel on Monday evening.

One rocket, which triggered sirens in the Israeli border community of Kissufim, struck an open area, according to the military.

Just over two hours later, the Israeli Air Force intercepted two rockets launched from the northern Strip.

There were no reports of injuries or damage in the attacks.

On Sunday, Palestinian terrorists in northern Gaza fired five rockets at Israeli communities in the “Gaza Envelope,” the area near the coastal enclave.

Two rockets were intercepted, according to the Israel Defense Forces, with the others apparently hitting open areas.

A day earlier, the IAF downed two rockets launched by Palestinian terrorists in northern Gaza towards Jerusalem. The attacks triggered air-raid sirens in the capital, the Western Negev and the Judean Foothills (the Shfela).

The IDF’s year-plus-long offensive against Hamas has greatly curbed rocket fire from the Strip, although Palestinian terrorists still intermittently target the Jewish state.

“The forest, the fields, the tractor, the threshing floor and the local swimming pool were all part of childhood,” said Efrat Sinai, director of archives at KKL-JNF. “These weren’t staged vacation moments; they were everyday life.”
Fire damaged more than 30 structures, destroyed 15 homes and 10 businesses, and forced the evacuation of some 100 families.
Jerusalem began cracking down on the Health Work Committees group following its involvement in the murder of 17-year-old Israeli teenager Rina Shnerb in 2019.
“I think we need to invest in Israel’s Arab society—in education, employment and infrastructure. If we don’t, we’ll be the ones who suffer,” the lawmaker told JNS.
