Three Qassam rockets were fired at the western Negev on Saturday. The rockets landed in open fields and no injuries or damages were reported. The rockets are believed to have been fired from the northern Negev, in the area where the Jewish settlement of Dugit was once located. On Friday, Palestinian militants fired two mortar shells at an Israel Defenses Forces patrol near the Kissufim crossing between Israel and Gaza. There were no injuries in the attack, which was claimed by the Popular Resistance Committeees.
After some two weeks of rocket barrages by the dozens, Hamas has said it stopped firing rockets and is working to rein in the smaller groups. One Qassasm rocket hit the western Negev Thursday.
The Israel Air Force has responded to the rockets with air strikes of its own, killing a number of militants in recent weeks. The IDF has kept crossings into Gaza mostly shut over the last few weeks because of the ongoing rocket fire.
