Palestinian terrorists operating in Gaza fired a Qassam rocket into Israel on Monday August 11, interrupting the Jewish day of mourning, Tisha B'av. This is the 13th rocket fired since the June 19th ceasefire, the first of which has landed directly on the city of Sderot, and not on its neighbouring towns. Sderot Media Center reports that no injuries or damage resulted from this rocket.
In response to an increased security threat, the Israeli government announced that it will shut down the border crossing between Hamas-controlled Gaza and Israel on Tuesday.
