"I can say that since the attack in Rafah, the entrance of the IDF (Israeli army) to Rafah, there is some sort of step up here, in terms of the threat from the north - not that there was no threat from the north before and there was no firing - there was firing - but the amount of the items (rockets) and the intensity became much, much more massive."
