Five Kassam rockets fired from the Gaza Strip landed in the western Negev. Three of the five rockets struck near Sapir College, The Jerusalem Post reported, but no injuries were reported. A building under construction sustained damages from Sunday’s attack, for which the Al-Quds Brigades of Islamic Jihad took responsibility. The strikes come in the wake of the Israel Defense Forces arresting two terror suspects in Ramallah, as well as four mortars the Palestinians launched from Gaza, which caused no injuries or damage.
