Rocket and Mortar Fire from Gaza Increasing
[IDF Spokesperson/IMRA] During the past week, Palestinians fired over 70 mortar shells and over 25 Kassam rockets at Israeli communities in the western Negev and at IDF forces. Of these, approximately 35 mortar shells and 20 rockets landed in Israel. The terror organizations, in particular Hamas, have made continuous attempts to kill or injure Israeli civilians and IDF forces, especially in the area adjacent to the Gaza security fence. Israeli forces are operating against the terror infrastructure in Gaza in order to distance the terror organizations from the security fence and to prevent rocket and mortar shell fire into Israel.
