Target practice before the big game

It has been one week since Hamas fired indiscriminate rockets into civilian areas, presumably due to their preoccupation with the protests in Egypt.

From Ynet news Jan 31

Grad rockets hit near Netivot, Ofakim

Tensions in Egypt appear to be spreading to Gaza

Grad rockets fired from the Hamas-ruled territory Monday night landed near the southern Israeli cities of Ofakim and Netivot. Also Monday, a Qassam rocket exploded in an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council. No injuries or damage were reported

During the rocket attack on Netivot- the first attack on Israel since the mass protests against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak began a week ago – four people suffered from shock, and damage was caused to a road and a parked car.

The rocket landed near a residential neighborhood.

Another Grad hit the Ofakim area a few minutes later, but there were no reports of injury or damage.
