In the latest violation of the already fragile Gaza truce, a Kassam rocket landed in the Sha'ar Hanegev region Saturday evening.

No casualties or damage were reported in the attack.

On Wednesday evening, a Kassam landed near a greenhouse belonging to a western Negev kibbutz, causing no damage or casualties.

Defense officials have warned that Israel will respond forcefully to any further violations of the ceasefire.

Last weekend, several mortar shells were fired into Israel during clashes between Hamas gunmen and members of the Fatah-linked Hilles clan.

Security officials had assessed that the shells were directed against the clan, warning that power struggles within Gaza could easily spill over into Israel.
