According to Walla, IDF Homefront Command heads have been preparing several Israeli cities for the possibility of an increase in rocket fire from Gaza.  The next round of rockets will fall on Netivot, Ofakim, and Ashkelon, an IDF source said.  The source warned that terrorists in Gaza have Grad missiles capable of hitting targets 20 kilometers away.

IDF operations in Gaza have prevented the terrorists from firing the rockets until now, he said.  However, terrorists could still use the rockets or begin more intense rocket attacks on communities already under fire, he said.
