The Israel Defense Forces struck Hamas military installations in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday night in retaliation for rocket fire from the coastal enclave earlier in the day, one of which struck a home in Moshav Netiv Ha’asara.
Three rockets were fired at Israeli communities north of Gaza on Wednesday afternoon, according to the military, marking the second consecutive day of rocket fire from the coastal territory. Two of the rockets landed in open territory, causing no damage.
The IDF targeted two Hamas observation posts in northern Gaza in response.
Code Red sirens were sounded in Kibbutz Zikim and Moshav Mavki’im late Wednesday evening in what the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit called a false alarm. A 77-year-old woman was injured while running to a safe room.

Firefighters managed to salvage Torah scrolls from a 120-year-old synagogue in Duluth, Minn., before an overnight fire on Monday that started in a storage room wound up destroying the building.
Leaders of Adas Israel Congregation, Duluth’s oldest-surviving Modern Orthodox Jewish synagogue, guided firefighters as they removed artifacts from the basement of the synagogue, according to the Duluth News Tribute.
“This is a huge deal,” said assistant fire chief Dennis Edwards. “There are some things that are not replaceable.”
At a news conference late Monday afternoon, it was reported that no accelerants were found at the scene. An investigation is under way.

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rav Shlomo Gissinger zt”l, rov of Khal Zichron Yaakov of Lakewood, NJ.
Rav Gissinger was known fondly and reverently to many people, not only in Lakewood, which was home to Rav Gissinger for nearly fifty years, but throughout the United States and beyond. He was a renowned posek and sought-after expert in many areas of halacha, especially in the complex fields of medicine and kashrus. In this capacity as well as that of highly regarded counselor to individuals and families, Rav Gissinger’s impact on the Torah world near and far became almost as well-known as his patient manner and sage counsel.

Amazon will officially launch its service in the Jewish state next week after the Sept. 17 national election, several sources in the retail industry told Calcalist, the Israel business daily.
Sources said the American company prefers not to start its services then to lessen expenses associated with the media campaign.
In an email sent to local Amazon retailers last week, the company advised to have enough stock well before Rosh Hashanah, which starts the night of Sept. 29 and lasts until sundown on Oct. 1, according to the report. The company also wants retailers in Israel to deliver products within five business days.
Last month, Amazon launched its Hebrew website for vendors.
