                  Three Qassam rockets fired from Gaza into Israel overnight

                  Three Qassam rockets were fired into southern Israel overnight Saturday, exploding in open areas and causing no casualties or damage.
                  The first rocket fell in the boundaries of Hof Ashkelon Regional Council and the other two Qassams fell an hour later in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council.
                  The French news agency AFP quoted Palestinian sources on Sunday and said that seven people were wounded during an Israel Defense Forces strike on the Gaza Strip on Sunday morning. According to the report, the IDF has denied the attack.
                  On Friday, a Qassam rocket was fired from Gaza into southern Israel, and another rocket was fired on Saturday morning.
                  Israel has stepped up its air strikes on coastal Gaza this week in response to a resurgence in rocket strikes at Israeli towns that have caused no injury but disrupted routine.
                  The Israel Defense Forces said 16 rockets fired from Gaza have struck Israel this month, some of which damaged buildings.
                  The recent cross-border escalation, which has yet to seriously intensify, is the first of its kind since the deadly escalation that began in April, in which rockets were fired into Be'er Sheva and Ashdod.
