While the UN devotes its human rights operations to the demonization of the democratic state of Israel above all others and condemns the United States more often than the vast majority of non-democracies around the world, the voices of real victims around the world must be heard.

A rocket was launched on Tuesday at the southern city of Be'er Sheva while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu making a campaign stop there.

The rocket landed in an open area outside city limits and no air raid siren was activated.

This was the first time a rocket was launched from the besieged enclave while elections were taking place in Israel.

Netanyahu was visiting Be'er Sheva to motivate Likud voters to get out and vote, and according to his party was already on his way out of the city when the attack occurred.

The IDF Spokesperson's Unit said a medium-range rocket was identified as it was launched from the Gaza Strip. It caused no damage or injuries and IAF aircraft were dispatched to the area in response.

The prime minister then spoke with Defense Minister Benny Gantz who was holding consultations with security officials.

This was the first rocket fire from Gaza in two months.

Gaza terrorists also fired rockets at Ashkelon last December while Netanyahu attended a Likud primary event there.
