Terrorists from the Hamas-run Gaza region attacked the Western Negev with a Kassam rocket several minutes ago. No injuries or damage was reported. The Color Red early warning system was sounded in the area, giving residents up to 20 seconds to run for cover.
The point of impact was between two farms in the area of Sderot and was at least the 273rd rocket or mortar attack since the end of the Operation Cast Lead last January. Previous attacks have been followed by IDF retaliation, usually on smuggling tunnels and munitions warehouses.
