Palestinian Authority terrorists in Gaza again fired three mortar shells at Jewish communities in the western Negev Tuesday afternoon. It was the third attack of the day. The mortar shells landed in open areas, hurting no one and damaging nothing.

The first attack was launched in the late morning, with a barrage of five mortar shells aimed at the Kerem Shalom border crossing near central Gaza. Two buildings were damaged but no one was hurt in the attack.

A second barrage of three mortar shells was fired at western Negev communities shortly after, landing in open fields. No one was hurt and no damage was reported.
