Arab terrorists resumed rocket fire on the western Negev a short time ago and fired one Kassam that exploded in the fields of Kibbutz Nir Am. No injuries or damage was reported. The early warning system in Sderot detected a second rocket, but that has not been confirmed.

IDF officers have said that the counter-terrorist operations have cut in half the number of rocket attacks, which numbered more than 25 a day before the Shavuot holiday.
