The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported a siren was activated yesterday at Kissufim, a kibbutz about a mile from the border with the Gaza Strip, Palestine.
The IDF confirmed two rockets not intercepted by Iron Dome had landed and exploded near the border fence.
The IDF later said it had fired on the Hamas group’s positions in Gaza in response to the rocket attack. Gazans reported an explosion as a result of the attack.
A few hours later, at around 01:52 local time on Saturday (24/4/2021), the IDF reported a siren sounded for the second time in southern Israel.
The Jerusalem Post reported two rockets fired further north, towards kibbutz Be’eri and moshav Kfar Maimon. The IDF said one of the rockets was intercepted.
About 20 minutes after the second siren sounded, the third series of sirens roared again and was confirmed by the IDF. According to the Israeli public broadcaster, can, this attack included four rockets, two of which were intercepted.
The IDF later reported a fourth siren sounded only to warn of a single rocket attack.
The series of attacks is only the latest in the past week, starting with rockets fired on Israel’s Independence Day, which triggered extensive bombardment of Gaza by Israeli fighter jets.
The series of attacks also came after Syrian anti-air missiles shot nearly 300 miles into Israeli territory after an IDF fighter jet bombed southern Syria. The Syrian missile landed and exploded near the Dimona nuclear reactor.
Earlier this week, Israeli mobs in Jerusalem attacked Palestinians and people judged to have “Arabic accents”, chanting “die Arabs”. The mob of the right-wing Jewish group also ransacked the homes of several Arabs.
