URGENT! ROCKET FIRED INTO ISRAEL! URGENT! IDF Claim Rocket From Gaza Hits Israel, Hamas Deny Involvement Residents of the Eshkol Regional Council reported Tuesday night that a rocket was fired from Gaza, falling outside of one of the local communities. The IDF in the last few minutes confirmed that rocket was fired from Gaza and landed on the Israeli side of the security fence, in the first such attack by Gaza terrorists since the ceasefire went into effect on August 26. There have been mixed reports on the precise nature of the projectile fired, with Channel 10 saying the attack was a mortar shell as opposed to a rocket; likewise, IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Peter Lerner labeled it a mortar shell on the IDFs official Twitter feed. However, nearly all other major Israeli media sources have identified it as a missile attack. No color red warning siren was sounded prior to the rocket which was fired around 6:30 p.m., and which caused no damage or injuries. The Hamas terrorist organization claimed Tuesday night that it had nothing to do with the rocket attack, saying it remains committed to the ceasefire. Hamas breached numerous ceasefires during Operation Protective Edge, as well as over the course of recent years. https://youtube/watch?v=yQHkTglFVwg
