Turning to the rocket fire from Sinai on Eilat late Wednesday night, Gantz said that Israel viewed the attack gravely and it was carried out by terrorist organizations operating in the peninsula.
“Anyone who tests us from near or far will find itself facing a strong and smart military prepared to defend Israel and defeat our enemies,” Gantz said at a ceremony honoring outstanding officers.

“Military forces detected a powerful explosive device that was concealed on the Gaza border fence. IDF sappers defused it safely,” YNet reported Monday evening in Israel.
Sources noted that the foiled device contained 12 kilograms of explosives, and was intended as a roadside bomb. Considering the device was placed unusually close to the border fence, it appears terrorists are emboldening, as the IDF remains vigilant in safeguarding Israel’s border.
