The IDF has warned residents of southern Israel communities located near Gaza to stay close to shelter. Residents should be close enough to shelter to take cover within 15 seconds if necessary, they said.
The army fears that Gaza terrorists will attack with rockets in response to the death of senior PRC terrorist Khaled Shaath, and several other top Gaza terrorists. The IDF killed the terrorist leaders following a series of deadly attacks near Eilat that took place with their planning and backing.
