Terrorists from Gaza launched a salvo of mortar shells towards the Eshkol Regional Council on Tuesday, during the very hours that hundreds of thousands attended a funeral in Modi'in for the three teens who were abducted and murdered by Hamas terrorists on June 12.
Five mortars were fired from Gaza according to Yedioth Aharonoth, which noted that two of the shells fells in open territory in the Eshkol Regional Council, causing no damage or injury.
The remaining three shells reportedly landed in Gaza, never making it to their target.
Security forces were said to be searching the area to locate the fallen shells after residents reported hearing several explosions. The "Color Red" warning siren was not sounded.
Just minutes later, the "Color Red" siren was heard in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council area, but was later identified as a false alarm by the Council, reports Walla!.
The attack comes as part of an escalating uptick in rocket fire from the Hamas-enclave; earlier on Tuesday morning four rockets were fired, after several more were launched in over Monday night.
A total of 15 rockets were fired at Israel by Gaza terrorists overnight Sunday and on Monday morning, mostly peppering the Eshkol Regional Council.
