Qassam terror back? A Qassam rocket exploded Tuesday in open spaces in Eshkol Regional Council, just a half an hour after a mortar shell blasted into the same area.

No injuries or damage were caused by the fire from Gaza.

The rocket attacks were the first since Thursday, when a Qassam exploded in open spaces, once again in Eshkol Regional Council.

After Thursday's fire the Head of the Eshkol Council, Haim Yalin, lamented the breaking of the long calm that had graced the area since April.

"Today this calm was shattered for the second time, and this does not surprise us. What is surprising is the month and a half of peace we had," Yalin said.

"Qassam fire is unsurprising because we know who lives opposite us on the other side (of the border)."
