The IDF has confirmed that at least one terrorist rocket was fired from Gaza at southern Israel Thursday. There have been no reports of injuries or damage.
The Color Red sirens went off in and around Sderot. Residents reported hearing explosions. The remains of the rocket were located in an open area in the Sha'ar Hanegev region.
The last time a Color Red siren was heard in the Gaza Belt region was in late December – four months ago. In response, IAF jets attacked Hamas training grounds in Khan Younes, in the southern Gaza Strip.
Housing Minister Uri Ariel called on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to repsond forcefully to the rocket attack, “so that the event does not again turn into a series of drizzles that will upset the routine and security of residents of the South.”
MK Miri Regev (Likud) also called for a tough response, saying: “We must not let the terror organizations raise their heads.”
