AFP calls it an 'uptick':
Over the past two months, there has been an uptick in rocket fire on southern Israel after more than three months of complete quiet following a deadly confrontation in November which ended with an Egyptian-brokered truce.
They report that something explosive - either a mortar or a rocket - was fired in the customary indiscriminate way into southern Israel during yesterday afternoon, the festival day of
Shavuot. Israel police say it crashed into the frequently hit
Eshkol region; fortunately, no damage, no injuries. This is an accidental result - the terrorists who control huge arsenals of rockets and mortars and store them in Gaza under Hamas control have no interest at all in who or what is hit. Their goal is to sow terror, and if there are actual injuries or damage, then that's cream on their pie.

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
