Gaza terrorists attempted to fire a rocket at Israel on Sunday.
The Kassam missile landed in an open area in the Gaza Strip, causing no injuries or damage, the IDF Spokesmans Office said.
The rocket fire is a breach of the Egyptian-mediated ceasefire signed by Hamas on November 21 ending Israels Operation Pillar of Defense. As part of the deal, Hamas agreed to halt its own fire and rein in other terror groups.
Also on Sunday, IDF soldiers arrested two unarmed Palestinians who crossed the Gaza border fence.
In Saturday television interviews, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Israeli army is preparing to deal Hamas a heavier blow than it sustained in last months eight-day military offensive, Operation Pillar of Fire.
Id suggest that Hamas not celebrate any ostensible victory in the wake of that operation, Netanyahu told Channel 10, indicating that Israel was not finished yet with Hamas, which fired 1,500 rockets at Israel during that campaign. We inflicted a very heavy blow on Gazas Islamist government, he said. We destroyed almost all of their long-range rockets, he noted. But Im telling you that the IDF is preparing to strike a still-heavier blow. Our account with Hamas is not closed.

...........................................
An Israeli military spokesman said several Palestinians "approached the security fence in the northern Gaza Strip.
Soldiers acted "according to the rules of engagement," the spokesman told Ma'an, declining to comment on whether or not live fire was used.
Israeli troops have shot at Gazans near the border at least 10 times since the end of an eight-day offensive last month. Some 30 people have been wounded in the incidents, Gaza officials said.

(45,850 posts)what I posted was to show exactly what I said this has not been one sided at all something I have followed since the 'cease fire' something that apparently means Palestinians will not shoot at Israel however not the reverse and here I thought cease fire meant just that both sides stopped shooting at each other
