Sat 24th July: Four rockets and two mortar shells were fired out of the Gaza strip into southern Israel.  Fortunately all missiles landed just outside the villages so no one was hurt.  Because of the professional nature of the manufacture of the rockets Israel believes they were imported.  Israel has been warning for years that weapons have been being smuggled into Gaza but the world has not listened.

Friday 30th July: A Grad missile, fired from the Gaza strip, hit a residential area near the centre of Ashkelon.  Windows were smashed and two people were taken to hospital suffering from shock but, fortunately, no one was injured or killed.  A request has been made for the speeding up of the construction of protected rooms and shelters because of the frequency of missile attacks.  Two more missiles were fired from Gaza into Israel on Friday afternoon and an explosive device was defused near the Gaza border fence.

To the best of my knowledge none of the above attacks have been mentioned in our news bulletins.
