In Response to Ongoing Rocket and Mortar Fire: Smuggling Tunnels Targeted

Two smuggling tunnels in the Rafah border area were recently targeted by the
Israel Air Force in response to the continuous firing of rockets and mortar
shells at Israeli Southern communities from the Gaza Strip.

Last night, a Qassam rocket hit a field in the Sdot Negev Regional Council
in the western Negev region of Israel. No casualties or damage were
reported.

Approximately 670 Qassam rockets, Mortar shells and Grad missiles were fired
at Israel since the beginning of 2009.
