Islamic Jihad has fired six Kassam rockets so far Tuesday morning towards Ashkelon and the western Negev, causing no casualties or damage.
The morning began around 7 AM with a burst of 2-3 Kassams towards open areas in the northwestern Negev. Shortly before 8 AM, with Sderot's streets filled with children on their way to school, another two were fired off towards the city – just north and south of Sderot - but landed with no physical damage. An hour later, the Gaza terrorists fired off yet another rocket, this one towards Ashkelon; it, too, caused no damage.
Two other Kassams over the past two days did cause damage – to a wall near the police station in Sderot, and a factory in southern Ashkelon. No one was hurt, however.
Kassam rocket attacks generally lead to predictable reactions in Israel: Calls from the left-wing for increased reinforcement and shelters, and demands for a large-scale military offensive into Gaza to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure from the political right.
