A Netivot resident told Israel Hayom: "It's unbelievable that it's three months into the war and they can still shoot at us in the middle of the day and panic an entire city. The missile fell very close to the children's school. All the parents are under pressure to check on their children in the educational institutions, and this is after last night they fired volleys at Sderot. There is no routine here. There was a long quiet time and we were afraid it would come. We are strengthening the education teams that now need to calm and strengthen our children."

The missiles were apparently fired from the central Gaza Strip. As you may recall, Ammol reported that the IDF withdrew the fighters of the 36th Division from Gaza for a period of increased preparedness, following the IDF's assessment of the situation in the fighting due to the need to maintain the fitness of the forces.
In addition, yesterday morning, in the Beit Lahiya area, fighters from the 401st Brigade combat team located about 100 rocket installations and about 60 rockets ready for launch. The fighters eliminated dozens of terrorists during the fighting.
Minister Gideon Sa'ar demands an immediate meeting of the security cabinet to discuss the continuation of the war in the Gaza Strip and how to conduct it: "Reducing the intensity of the IDF's activity in the Gaza Strip and reducing the scope of its forces in the current situation are wrong. The cabinet must decide to increase military pressure on Hamas immediately. It should also be defined that changes in the nature of the campaign will be based on an examination of progress in achieving the objectives and not according to timetables."
