Gaza terrorists fired a Kassam rocket on the Sderot area minutes after students arrived at their classes for the first day of school.Sderot area students began their lessons by responding to the Color Red siren, which gives them 15 seconds to run for cover before the incoming missile explodes. Monday morning’s Kassam exploded in an open area, reducing injuries to shock and trauma.
Three rockets also were fired on the same area Sunday morning, damaging a factory in the Sderot industrial area and a structure at the Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council.
An Islamic terrorist group identifying itself with Al Qaeda took “credit” for Sunday’s attacks.

In "Increasingly Islamist" Region, Israel May Be Headed For War
In an ever-more-volatile Middle East, the prospect of a military confrontation between Israel and its neighbors is fast becoming a tangible possibility, the IDF’s intelligence chief warned on Monday.
“In the coming year, the State of Israel will come up against an unstable, increasingly Islamist region: a region that has been dealing with a series of crises — regional and internal — that increases the volatility of all of the players and that could lead, without prior warning, to conflagrations,” Military Intelligence Director Maj.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi said in his annual presentation to Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz and the IDF top brass.

Report: So. Calif. Quake Swarm Strongest In 30 Years
The earthquake swarm that has been rocking Southern California since Sunday has been the area's strongest such swarm in 30 years, the Los Angeles Times is reporting.
California Earthquake Swarms Leave Residents On Edge
Residents in the Imperial County town of Brawley were continuing to assess damage caused by an"earthquake storm" still rumbling underneath the region that has forced school closures and displaced several residents.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, after a series of milder quakes, a magnitude 3.8 temblor hit at 10:02 a.m. Sunday about three miles northwest of Brawley, a 25,000-person city nestled between the San Andreas and Imperial faults. More than 400 quakes have followed, stretching into Monday morning.
The vast majority of the quakes measured under 3.0, but two topped 5.0, according to USGS data. A 5.3-magnitude temblor hit about 12:30 p.m. Sunday; a 5.5 quake followed about 90 minutes later.
It also appears that a similar earthquake swarm is hitting Central America:
Earthquakes Strike Central America
A powerful earthquake measuring up to 7.3 hit off El Salvador's Pacific coast, triggering a brief tsunami alert for Central America and Mexico but causing no injuries or damage.
The warning was later canceled, and no huge wave was known to have made land in quake-prone Central America.
The tremor just before midnight Sunday local time unleashed at least 68 aftershocks, a few of them measuring as much as 5.4, the Environment Ministry said.
The quake was not the first reported in the region in the last 24 hours. Early Sunday, a 4.3 tremor was registered in the Pacific off the coast of Guatemala.
