Three rockets fired by Palestinian terrorists in north Gaza landed in the Ashkelon area Monday evening. There were no reports of injury or damage.

One of the rockets landed about 660 feet from one of the facilities in the southern city’s industrial zone.

The “Color Red” alert system, which warns residents of incoming projectiles, was activated.

Most of the area’s factories were closed when the rocket hit, apart form a few which operate 24 hours a day.

The two other rockets landed within the limits of the Ashkelon Beach Regional Council.

The attack came shortly after the Palestinians reported that a 65-year-old farmer was shot to death by IDF soldiers near the security fence separating Israel from Gaza. The army has not confirmed the report.

According to the report, the farmer was critically wounded and later died at a hospital in Beit Lahiya. Other media outlets in the Hamas-ruled territory said the soldiers opened fire for no apparent reason at farmers who were cultivated their fields.

There were also reports of “massive presence” of Israeli aircraft above Gaza.

Overnight Monday the Israeli Air Force bombed two targets in the Strip in response to rocket and mortar fire emanating from the Strip over the past week. There were no reports of injury on the Palestinian side.
