Nine Kassam rockets were fired at southern Israel on Friday night and rocket attacks resumed on motzei Shabbos, with a Katyusha rocket landing in an Ashkelon industrial zone. A second rocket landed in a northern area in the city. Another attack was launched later in the night directed at Sderot. Baruch Hashem, no injuries were reported. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade boasted responsibility for the Katyusha fire.

Southern area residents continue to wonder regarding the “ceasefire” that Defense Minister Ehud Barak refers to fondly, explaining their lives have once again become unhinged as they are compelled to deal with round-the-clock rocket fire following a brief hiatus.
