Rockets still breaking the "quiet" in the South

Feb. 24, 2009

While the international community is still under the illusion that a cease-fire is in effect between Israel and Hamas, rockets are still flying overhead. They just aren't hitting anyone.

The Israeli army reported also foiling a large-scale attack against troops or a southern Israeli community, security officials said. Soldiers spotted two Palestinians laying explosive devices near the border crossing on Monday.

Islamic Jihad claimed the would-be attack was an effort to kidnap Israeli soldiers.

Two rockets were also fired at southern Israeli cities on Monday. One hit an open area and another landed in a field near Sderot. No one was wounded and no damage was reported. Hence, nothing reported.
