Jerusalem Post journalist Ben Hartman reported 57 minutes after the ceasefire began:
At least 12 rockets fired into #Israel since cease-fire began at 9pm, police say #Gaza #Jpost
Reuters reports this news too.
Update: Keep up! The Times of Israel now reports 20 rockets, in the past 3 hours.
That’s a rate of 6.67 rockets per hour.
During Operation Pillar of Cloud (4pm 14th Nov – 9pm 20th Nov), 1506 rockets were fired in 149 hours, at a rate of 10.1 rockets per hour.
Through this ceasefire, Israel has reduced the hourly rate of rockets by 34%.
How reassuring for the citizens of the South!
