Israel attacked a terrorist cell in northern Gaza shortly before dawn Friday, but neither the IDF nor Hamas has reported on the number of terrorists killed or wounded. The retaliation came after Arab terrorists bombarded Israel Thursday with 10 mortar shells and 10 rockets, one of which was an Iranian-made Grad missile.

Meanwhile, the Defense Ministry has decided to install the Code Red early warning system in the town of Netivot, where the Grad exploded, and the farming communities of Shibulim, Melilot, Gavolim and Sharsheret, adjacent to Netivot.
