At least two dozen rockets were fired by Palestinian militants targeting the Israeli city of Netivot last week, about six miles from the Gaza border. The Iron Dome anti-missile defense system shot many of them down, and there were no reports of casualties, but one rocket hit a store in the city. Despite the shadow cast by the Israel-Hamas war grinding in the Gaza Strip, Israeli residents in the south vowed to stay resilient. Meanwhile, Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi has visited the site of an incident that killed 21 reservists in the Gaza Strip. (Jan. 24)
