During the month of May, 1,111 trucks transported 27,933 tons of supplies into the Gaza Strip. Hamas continues to act aggressively against Israel. In addition to Hamas’ own terrorist activities, the organization allows various terrorist groups to use the territory under it control to launch rockets and carry out other attacks. In the period of this report, a sense of calm has returned to the Gaza region after intensive rocket and mortar fire in the months of March and April. Nonetheless, five rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip towards civilian areas in Israel. Meanwhile, Hamas has sustained its efforts to acquire more weaponry through smuggling into the Gaza Strip.
