(詳細はPalestinian rocket and mortar attacks on Israel in 2011 from the Gaza Strip. Over the course of 2011, 680 rockets, mortars and Grad missiles were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel.〔(IDF Spokesperson )〕 ==Overview and notable developments== At the very end of 2010, Palestinian Islamic Jihad stated that it and other Palestinians militant groups in the Gaza Strip would temporarily halt rocket attacks against Israel.〔(Gaza militant groups agree to halt rocket attacks on Israel ), Haaretz 30-12-2010〕 However, by 7 January, Palestinian Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for a mortar attack that injured three agricultural workers,〔 and the group was responsible for most of the attacks on Israel in the first two weeks of the year. On 12 January, the group declared again that it would cease firing rockets.〔(Gaza factions agree to stop rocket attacks on Israel ), Jerusalem Post 12-01-2011〕 Multiple, unclaimed rocket and mortar attacks occurred on 16, 17 and 18 January. On 2 January, it was revealed that two East Jerusalem Arabs, employees of the British Consulate General in Jerusalem, were arrested for suspected involvement in an aborted Hamas plot to fire a missile at Teddy Stadium during a soccer match. The two were charged the following day with weapons trafficking.〔(Two arrested for Hamas plot to fire rockets at stadium ), Jerusalem Post 02-01-2011〕〔(2 at J'lem British Consulate charged with aiding Hamas ), Jerusalem Post 03-01-2011〕 On 15 March, Israel seized the ''Victoria'', a ship containing concealed Iranian missiles destined for the Gaza Strip.〔(Uncovering the missiles ), Israel News 16-03-2011〕 On 27 March, Israel first deployed the new Iron Dome missile defense system to protect Beersheba. The city, one of Israel's largest, had recently been targeted again by Palestinian missiles after being safe since the 2008-2009 Gaza War. A week later, a second battery was deployed to protect Ashkelon.〔(Israel Rolls Out First Mobile Battery of Antirocket System ), New York Times 27-03-2011〕 On 7 April, the Ashkelon battery successfully intercepted a Palestinian Grad missile fired at the city, marking the first successful interception of a short range rocket in history.〔(Iron Dome successfully intercepts Gaza rocket for first time ), Haaretz 07-04-2011〕 On 31 August, Israel deployed a third battery outside Ashdod before the new school year. As of that date, Iron Dome had intercepted several dozen Gazan rockets at an estimated cost of $100,000 per interception, not including the price of the system itself.〔(IAF deploys third Iron Dome battery outside Ashdod ), Jerusalem Post 2011-08-31〕 On 4 April, Israel indicted alleged Hamas "rocket godfather" Dirar Abu Sisi in the Beersheba District Court. Abu Sisi had reportedly been captured by Israel in the Ukraine a month prior. He denied any wrongdoing.〔(Shin Bet files indictment against ‘rocket godfather’ ), Jerusalem Post 04-04-2011〕 On 7 April, Hamas militants fired a Kornet anti-tank missile at an Israel school bus. The sole passenger on board, 16-year-old boy Daniel Viflic, was killed. On 18 August, a series of cross-border attacks were carried out in southern Israel near the Egyptian border. The initial attacks sparked several days of clashes between Israel and Palestinian militant groups that resulted in substantial casualties to both sides. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel, 2011」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
