 [IsraelTimes] More than 20 rockets were fired by Hamas...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... at southern and central Israel just at the start of the new year. Most were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system. Sirens sounded in various locations in the center of the country, including Rehovot, Ness Ziona, Holon, Lod and Modiin, as well as Ashdod, Sderot and other southern towns. The Magen David Adom ambulance service says no injuries have been reported so far.

[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces does not believe it will be able to fully destroy the rocket-launching capabilities of Gaza-based terror groups, Army Radio reports.The report says that while the military has had success in taking out launchers for long-range missiles, it will be harder to totally remove the threat of short-range fire at the Gaza border communities. “Even in two years’ time, it’s possible that the residents of the Gaza Strip will still be hearing rocket alerts,” an unnamed senior officer tells the outlet.
