Rocket falls on Beersheba; FM demands UN action be taken

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman late night Wednesday instructed the Israeli UN delegation to submit a complaint to the UN Security Council and General Assembly over the grad rocket that hit Beersheba earlier in the evening. "Israel will not remain indifferent to these acts," Lieberman stressed in his statement.
The grad-model Katyusha rocket struck the Negev city on Wednesday night, the first such attack on the city since Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip over two years ago.
Another rocket hit the Netivot area a short time later, causing no harm.
Security officials said Hamas was ultimately responsible for the rocket attacks, even if it had not actually fired them.
Earlier in the day, six mortar shells fired from the Gaza Strip struck the Sdot Negev region, according to the IDF Spokesman’s Office. They caused no casualties or damage.
Clashes began in the morning after a roadside bomb detonated next to an IDF patrol along the border. Mortar shells were then fired into the western Negev. None of the soldiers was wounded, and the IDF responded with tank fire in the direction of the terrorists.
Gaza health officials said 11 people were wounded, one of whom died of his wounds on Wednesday night.
Islamic Jihad and Hamas took responsibility for the attacks.
The IDF is concerned that the instability in Sinai will lead to an increase in the quantity and quality of weaponry and explosives that Hamas smuggles into Gaza via tunnels under the Philadelphi Corridor.
Pray for the peace and Divine protection of Israel.
