Three mortar shells were fired from Gaza into southern Israel on Thursday morning 8 Shevat 5774. The mortar shells fell short of their intended target, landing in Gaza.
The IDF alerted all border communities within a mile of the Gaza border, instructing farmers not to work the fields.
The IAF retaliated shortly following the launch, striking the terrorists who fired the rockets, who were fleeing the scene on bicycle. Media sources in Gaza report two of the terrorists were hit in the retaliatory strike along with a child, the result of exploding glass in his home.
