Jerusalem (CNN) -- A mortar fired from Gaza landed outside two kindergarten buildings in southern Israel on Wednesday morning, the Israeli military said.
No one was hurt when the mortar landed in a kibbutz in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council.
"We open the new year with a reminder, which is not new, that these hits are almost a daily event here, and yet we continue our preparations for the new year," said Yanina Barnea, the mother of a child who attends one of the schools.
Rosh Hashana, commonly referred to as the Jewish New Year, begins at sundown Wednesday.
Security crossings into Israel will be temporary closed through Saturday, the Israeli military said.
