Jerusalem, 29 August, 2019 (TPS-IL) -- Gaza-based terrorists on Wednesday night fire at rocket towards Kibbutz Netiv Ha’asara in southern Israel, setting off alarms that led civilians to flee for cover. The rocket exploded in an open space, causing no injuries or damage.
Shortly after the attack, the IDF targeted a Hamas target in the northern Strip.
Tensions on the Gazan border have been high in recent days following several infiltration attempts by terrorists and rocket attacks.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that if it proves necessary, Israel will launch on a wide-ranging campaign in Gaza, regardless of the pending September elections.
