The two border incidents came less than a day after a flareup between the Israel Defense Forces and terror groups in Gaza in the predawn hours of Wednesday morning. The air force conducted airstrikes early Wednesday in response to numerous arson attacks from the coastal enclave, and the various terrorist organizations in the Strip retaliated by firing over a dozen rockets into southern Israel.
