Gaza periphery communities have moved to heightened alert status on Sunday after intelligence reports indicate terrorists in Hamas-controlled Gaza plan to renew rocket attacks into southern Israel.

Despite the mounting credible intelligence warnings, there were no rocket or mortar attacks during the first days of yomtov but nevertheless, this week, the communities in rocket range are not taking chances and are a bit more alert in expectation of a renewal of attacks.
