The IDF operation in Beit Hanoun has ended, but that does not seem to bother the rocket launching cells as seven Qassams were fired from northern Gaza, with two of them landing near a school in the city, two more at the industrial area, and one near a strategic installation.

Two other rockets were fired at western Negev communities. In all incidents no injuries or damage were reported.

Simultaneously, clashes between IDF forces and Palestinian gunmen continue as Palestinian sources had reported that three people were
killed by IDF forces in Beit Lahiya on Tuesday afternoon, bringing the death toll for the day to nine.
