Gaza Rocket Hits Southern Israel
2014-01-31
[An Nahar] A rocket fired from the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-ruled Gazoo Strip Thursday night hit an open area in southern Israel without causing any damage or injuries, the army and police said.

The "rocket... hit southern Israel in an open area south of (the town) Netivot," a statement said

A police spokeswoman told Agence La Belle France Presse there was no damage or injuries.

Recently, tensions have risen in and around Gazoo after a year of relative calm, with six Paleostinians and an Israeli killed since December 20 and myrmidon rocket fire sparking retaliatory air strikes.

On January 22, the army killed two Paleostinians, one of them identified by Israel as a myrmidon from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine
... Paleostinian Marxist movement, founded in 1967. It is considered a terrorist organization by more than 30 countries including the U.S., European Union, Australia, Canada, and Antarctica. The PFLP's stated goal is the establishment of a socialist State in Paleostine. They pioneered armed aircraft hijackings in the late 60s and early 70s...
who the army said was behind recent rocket attacks.

Hamas recently confirmed it had deployed forces in Gazoo to "preserve the truce" with Israel, brokered by Egypt, which ended the last major confrontation in November 2012.
