A rocket exploded Wednesday – the holiday of Shavuot - in an open area at the Eshkol Regional Council. No injuries or damage were reported. A Color Red siren sounded prior to the hit.
Eshkol Regional Council head Chaim Yalin said the rocket did not stop the residents from enjoying the holiday. "Not the weather or the rockets will ruin our holiday," he said. "The farmers worked all year ling to celebrate their holiday."
Earlier this month, another rocket hit the council. In later April, on the holiday of Lag B'Omer a rocket fired from Gaza exploded in an open area at the Sdot Negev Regional Council. No injuries or damage were reported.
A few hours later, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit announced that Israeli aircraft attacked a terror facility and a weapons cache in south Gaza. Direct hits were confirmed.
