Palestinian terrorists fired two rockets from the northern Gaza Strip at southern Israel on Tuesday afternoon, setting off sirens in Kibbutz Nir Am.

Both rockets struck open areas in Israeli territory, causing no injuries or damage, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

On April 4, Gazan terrorists fired a barrage of rockets towards the southern Israeli city of Netivot, sending more than 40,000 people running for shelter for the first time in nearly three months.

The same day, terrorists fired three rockets at the border community of Kfar Aza.

On March 25, Hamas fired eight rockets at Ashdod, marking the first such attack on the port city since Jan. 14.

More than 11,500 rockets have been fired at Israel since the start of the current war on Oct. 7.

The president is continuing consultations with the newly elected factions scheduled through Thursday evening.
The move comes amid a sharp increase in Holocaust denial and distortion around the globe following the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.
