Rocket sirens sound near Gaza border, ending extended lull

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

For the first time in nearly four days, sirens are sounding due to apparent rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.

Alarms are activated in the border community of Netiv Ha’asara.

There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

Israeli troops have come under Hamas rocket and mortar fire during operations inside the Gaza Strip, which have at times also set off alarms in border communities.

The number of attacks on Israeli cities has gone down significantly in recent weeks, as troops push deeper into the Strip.
