GAZA ROCKET HITS SOUTHERN ISRAEL:

A rocket from the Gaza Strip was fired on Wed evening 25 May 2016, towards southern Israel. The rocket exploded in an open area of the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council, causing no physical injuries or damages. Israeli fighter jets attacked terror targets in Gaza Strip early Thurs. in retaliation for rocket fired at Israel hours earlier. Rocket and mortar fire from Gaza has continued to "trickle” into Israel on occasion. On 6 May 2016, two mortar shells fired from Gaza exploded near the security fence in the Eshkol Regional Council. There were no physical injuries or damages. Israeli aircraft hit two Hamas targets in Gaza in retaliation for the attack. That mortar attack was part of an escalation in the region, during which Gazan terrorists several times lobbed mortar shells at IDF soldiers near the security border in southern Gaza. The IAF responded in kind, shelling terror targets in northern Gaza. (Arutz-7)
