Two other rockets landed in open fields - one outside Sderot and another near Kibbutz Nir Am. There were no injuries or damage reported. In response, the Israel Air Force targeted two Qassam rocket launchers in the northern Gaza Strip, Army Radio reported. Rockets have landed in the region on a daily basis, yet Sderot's chief security officer, Yehuda Ben Mamen, said the latest barrage prompted school principals to call and inquire as to whether classes would be in session. Ben Mamen replied that schools would be opened as per usual. IDF: Seven arms smuggling tunnels discovered under Gaza-Egypt border Seven tunnels used to smuggle weapons and militants from Egypt into Gaza have been uncovered by Israel Defense Forces operations over the past two days, the army said Thursday. Some of the tunnels had electricity and lighting infrastructure, as well as ventilation systems. IDF troops demolished all of the tunnels in controlled explosions. The IDF said the tunnels were used by Hamas to smuggle militants from Egypt into Gaza, as well as vice versa, and were also used to bring in weapons and explosives. The army also found three explosive devices in the area, which were meant to target troops operating in the area. The devices were neutralized by the troops.
