In an update on Palestinian rocket fire, AFP writes:
Under a ceasefire agreed by Israel and militants on November 26, the Jewish state withdrew its forces from Gaza and militants were supposed to stop firing rockets.
Since then, more than 50 rockets have been fired into Israel, and one Palestinian has been killed and at least three wounded by Israeli fire in Gaza. But the truce has generally held amid hopes that it can help restart the dormant peace process.
Generally held? Just this morning, one rocket came “generally” close to a strategic site in Ashkelon.
UPDATE Dec. 26: See Elder of Ziyon‘s calendar of rocket fire.
UPDATE Dec. 26: Two Sderot teens were severely injured by a rocket tonight. One of the boys, Matan Cohen, escaped death in two previous Qassam salvos.
