A rocket fired from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip on Wednesday night in the general direction of southern Israel is reported [Israel National News] to have exploded harmlessly in an open area of the Sha’ar Hanegev region, fortunately causing neither human injuries nor property damage. The attack occurred around 11:00 pm.
The “Color Red” [Tzeva Adom] incoming rocket warning alert was not sounded prior to explosion since the system correctly (as it appears) computed that it was headed towards an open area.
This, it bears repeating, was not the intention of the terrorists who put their lives in jeopardy by firing missiles at Israel. They will certainly be trying for a more damaging result in the future.
