More than 450 days into the Iron Swords War, Gaza terrorists are continuing their daily rocket attacks against southern Israel.
Three rockets were fired from northern Gaza on Monday morning, aimed at the border city of Sderot.
One rocket landed in the yard of Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries to Sderot, Rabbi Hananel and Tzivia Pizam, the third time a rocket has hit the home.

The rocket broke a fence and damaged a sidewalk, with shrapnel also striking a gas tank. Miraculously, the tank leaked fluid but did not explode.
“It is terrible — not the first time, not the second,” Tzviah Pizam told Ynet. “We thought that it was over, and it hit the gas canister.”
A second rocket landed in an open area, causing minor damage.
The third rocket was intercepted by the IDF Aerial Defense Array.
Sderot has been a frequent target in Gaza rocket attacks, with results ranging from deaths and injuries and from total destruction to slight damage to various buildings, including private homes and kindergartens.
A 68-year-old woman was injured while racing to a bomb shelter for safety. She was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The IDF is continuing its operations in northern Gaza against Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists, who have largely reconstituted their forces in the area.
The resurrection of the terrorist forces is a direct result of the “piecemeal” military strategy Israel was forced into by the United States over concerns for “civilian” safety in the enclave.
Nearly all terrorist positions discovered in Gaza from the October 7, 2023, start of the war up to this point have been embedded directly within civilian populations and facilities such as schools, medical clinics, hospitals and mosques.
Hamas command centers and terror cells have also been uncovered within the humanitarian zones set up by the IDF for the safety of Gaza civilians.
