Arab terrorists Wednesday attackedthe south with four Katyusha rockets from the Sinai, an Israeli securitysource confirmed. No one was injured, and no property damage was reported, but at least one missile exploded between homes.
One of the rockets was fired towards the community of Bnei Netzarim without causing any injuries, asecurity source said. The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood government is ostensibly responsible for protecting the Sinai from terrorists.
"What we know for sure is that there were four explosions in Bnei Netzarim and there is a sense within the army that they were fired from Sinai and not from Gaza," the source said.
Elisheva Yanki, who was forced out of her home in Gush Katif in 2005 and moved to the community of Naveh next to Bnei Netzarim, confirmed hearing the explosions but could not say from where they came. "These explosions took us straight back to the days when they used to fire
on us in Gush Katif," she told the NRG news website.
The missile attacks came after a 24-hour lull in rocket launches on Israel, following a bombardment of more than 150 missiles and mortar shells since last Friday.
Bnei Netzarim, referring to the children of the former Gaza community that was destroyed by the government in 2005, is located approximately three miles from Gaza.
The Sharon government ordered the expulsion of all Jews and the withdrawal of all military personnel from Gaza in the summer of 2005, promising that the “disengagement” would end rocket fire on the south.
Since then, Hamas and allied terrorists have fired thousands of missiles on Israel, reaching as far north as the southern edge of metropolitan Tel Aviv.
