No one was hurt and no damage was caused. Two weeks ago, terrorists fired two Kassam-type rockets at the town of Sderot. No one was hurt and no damage was caused. According to an Israel Security Agency (Shabak) report released Wednesday, there has been a significant decrease in the number of terrorist attacks recorded in 2009 as compared with previous years. The most dramatic drop in terror incidents was recorded in Gaza, where the number of rockets fired at Israel by terrorists dropped from 2,048 in 2008 to 566 this year. Of the 2009 total, 406 were fired in January during Israel's counter-terrorism operation in Gaza, Operation Cast Lead. According to the report, ever since the conclusion of that mini-war, the Hamas regime in Gaza has been concentrating on building its military capabilities and training ahead of an expected additional round of large-scale fighting with IDF forces.
