Three rockets fired from the Gaza Strip hit southern Israel on Sunday, without causing

casualties or damage, police said.

"A rocket fired from Gaza fell into an uninhabited area near the city of Sderot this

evening. There were no injuries or damage," police spokeswoman Lea Samri told AFP.

She said two other rockets were fired into southern Israel near the city of Netivot early

on Sunday, hitting open ground without causing casualties or property damage.

On Saturday night, a rocket fired from an Israeli drone wounded two Palestinians riding

a motorcycle in Rafah in the Gaza Strip. The military said they had been on their way to

fire rockets at Israel.

"Aircraft thwarted a rocket launch in the southern Gaza Strip," a military spokeswoman

told AFP.

Last month, a series of Israeli air strikes and Palestinian rocket salvoes followed Israel's

killing of Zuhair al-Qaisi, head of the Gaza-based Popular Resistance Committees,

prompting other militant groups to fire rockets.

Gaza rockets hit Israel after drone attack - Yahoo! News

Palestinians in Gaza fired more than 310 rockets at Israel, and Israeli warplanes carried

out dozens of air strikes, killing 25 people, among them 14 members of Islamic Jihad.

Israeli public radio said that the two rockets fired on Sunday morning were of the Soviet-

designed Grad type, the same as those fired early on Thursday from Egypt's Sinai

Peninsula at Israel's Red Sea resort of Eilat.

It was the first rocket attack from Egypt since the collapse of the regime of Egyptian

president Hosni Mubarak in February 2011. Since he was toppled, a wave of unrest has

swept the restive Sinai Peninsula bordering Israel.

Tit for tat works for the advantage of the Arab terrorists. What is needed is larger scale

impossible.

Inderpal claims "jews are good at assasination." How handy he ignores that Muslims are

better, since it's a core teaching of the Koran. Taqiyya is the Koranic imperative to lie for

the sake of Islam. It comes from Mohammed telling a follower it's ok to lie to an opponent

to get him out of his house so he could be assassinated.

Gaza,Israel should go on extensive military operation in Gaza to rout the terror

organizations there.
