Gaza terrorists fired two Grad rockets at the city of Netivot on Thursday night. The rockets hit an open area. No injuries were reported in the attack.

A short time earlier, terrorists fired a short-range Kassam rocket at the western Negev town of Sderot. The rocket missed its mark, and there were no reports of injuries in the attack.

Gaza terrorists have continued firing at southern Israel despite the recent Cast Lead counterterrorism operation, which killed an estimated 800 Gaza terrorists, including many senior members of Hamas.

Hamas leaders say they are willing to hold their fire for 18 months in exchange for an end to IDF operations in Gaza and entirely opened crossings, but in the absence of a ceasefire agreement, the group continues to carry out attacks on Israeli civilians.

Egyptian-mediated talks towards a ceasefire in Gaza have run into trouble as Hamas terrorists insist that importing weapons is their right, while Israel insists that smuggling must stop during any ceasefire period. In addition, Israel insists that Hamas must release kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, while Hamas says any deal for Shalit must be conducted separately and cannot be tied in to any truce agreement.
