Another Qassam rocket landed Sunday morning near a kibbutz in the western Negev. It exploded in an open field and no one was injured nor was any damage done.
This was the seventh rocket to be fired into Israel from the Gaza Strip, since the ceasefire was declared, just one week ago. Israel continues to restrain itself and is not responding to the shooting, and this has indeed been one of the more quiet weeks to pass on the southern residents in the recent months.
The security cabinet is set to convene Sunday to discuss the fragile calm, and to discuss Israel's responses to further firing.
Also on the agenda is the possible expansion of the ceasefire to include the West Bank. It has not yet been officially announced, but the Israel Defense Force has reduced activity in the West Bank.
Nonetheless, the IDF continues to arrest wanted suspects from time to time...

J-Post on-line was running a story about a Qassam that ended up exploding on the Palestinian side of the border yesterday (Dec. 4). Presumably, it also detonated without causing casualties or property damage. But imagine the dilemna of the MSM if they had to do a write-up about a resident of the PA who was maimed or killed by one of these supposedly ineffective home-made bombs that are lobbed daily at Jewish targets?
