Sirens sounded in Kibbutz Nahal Oz on the border with Gaza on Thursday night as the Israel Defense Forces intercepted a terrorist rocket launched from the Strip toward the Jewish state.

“Following alerts that were activated at 8:02 p.m. in Nahal Oz, the Air Force intercepted a launch that crossed into Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip,” stated the military.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage in the attack.

On Wednesday night, the IDF downed two terror rockets heading for Israeli territory from the northern Gaza Strip. No injuries or damages were reported in the rocket assault on Israel.

Earlier on Wednesday, Israelis in Kibbutz Kissufim near Gaza were briefly sent into bomb shelters after the IDF detected a “suspicious aerial target” crossing from the Strip.

The IDF said the incident “ended” without injuries, but did not say if the suspected aerial target was shot down by air defenses or hit inside Israeli territory without causing casualties.

“I know that the only way that I can have some measure of success is with God’s blessing, providence, direction and wisdom,” the rabbi, of Suburban Orthodox Congregation in Baltimore, told JNS.
The Jewish, Italian, Irish and British “pioneers and people who built this city” want Bible-based American values, the Israeli consul general in New York told JNS. “They don’t want the Sharia laws.”
“We were extremely proud to see this work come to fruition,” Shay Salamon, executive director of Latin American affairs at Combat Antisemitism Movement, told JNS.
The Irgun vessel will serve as a “tangible symbol” of the imperative to never descend into civil war, the Israeli premier said.
