Palestinian Authority terrorists launched a rocket attack on the western Negev city Sderot Saturday night after a rocket and mortar fire-filled Sabbath in southern Israel.
One rocket slammed into the center of Sderot, sending a woman into emotional shock. The location of the second rocket was not immediately identified.
No other injuries were reported.
Terrorists fired two rockets and seven mortar shells at Gaza Belt communities over the course of the Sabbath.
Four of the mortar shells exploded in and around Kibbutz Nahal Oz, damaging a warehouse and several power lines.
Three other shells and two Kassam rockets landed in open areas. No one was hurt in any of the attacks.
False Alarm in the North
In the north, Israel Air Force helicopters were scrambled Saturday afternoon after a light aircraft was detected without identifying itself and without authorization. The brief incident ended peacefully after it was ascertained the pilot was Israeli and the aircraft was benign.
"The Air Force registered an unknown aircraft on Saturday afternoon flying over Israeli air space. Air Force helicopters took off in the direction of the aircraft and when the plane made contact, the helicopters returned to base," the IDF spokesman said in a statement.
Tensions have been high along the northern border, with threats of vengeance by Hizbullah terrorists in Lebanon following the assassination of the group's second-in-command in a Damascus car bombing in February.
