      Shabbat in the South: Mortar on Erez, Rockets on Sderot


      The enemy in Gaza fired a mortar shell at the Erez checkpoint Saturday morning, causing several people to suffer emotional shock.

      Around 8 A.M., the enemy fired two rockets at the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council area. No one was hurt and no damage was caused.

      At around the same time, the IDF attacked a terrorist squad that was spotted near ready-to-fire rocket launchers, in Beit Hanoun, in northern Gaza. The IDF said several terrorists were hurt, and Arab sources later said that one member of the squad was seriously hurt.

      The IDF attacked four more rocket launch sites at around 12:00 noon and identified hits.
