      Two Rockets Hit Gaza Belt as New Residents Arrive


      Arab terrorists attacked Gaza Belt communities with two more Kassam rockets Monday, causing no injuries or damage, but the attacks are not stopping new residents from arriving. They are being backed by community leaders who have launched a public relations campaign to pressure the government to take long-promised action against the terrorists.

      More than 120 families have decided to move to the area in the past year, according to the Hebrew newspaper Yediot Aharonot, while only a small number have decided to leave. Eshkol Regional Council head Chaim Yellin said houses in moshavim and kibbutzim are filled to capacity.
