In late October, Sderot Mayor David Buskila began a hunger strike outside of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, protesting what he perceived as the lack of attention by the government to Israeli towns that suffer from rocket attacks and demanding that the government intervene in the issue. Five days into Buskila's hunger strike, the Israeli government approved a NIS 270 million plan to increase fortifications for all Israeli towns between 4.5–7 km of the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained that "this will bring security to the southern residents. This is something which southern residents have been requesting for a long time."{{cite web | url=http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?id=289532 | title=Gov't approves Gaza border town fortification plan | publisher=The Jerusalem Post | date=October 28, 2012 | access-date=October 28, 2012}}

On the morning of the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups fired more than 50 rockets and mortars into Israel. One of the rockets landed in a petting zoo in the Eshkol Regional Council, killing two goats and wounding nine other goats. A worker stated that the zoo was usually "packed with children" but was empty at the time because of the holiday. A residential building was also damaged, but no human injuries were reported. Israelis in the Eshkol Regional Council were instructed to remain in shelters for several hours. This marked the first time since June that Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, claimed responsibility for rocket attacks on Israel. The group's stated aim was vengeance against "Zionist crimes"; this was an allusion to an Israeli air strike the previous day against Muhammad Jerbi, a jihadist militant from Rafah, and Abdullah Mohamed Hassan Maqawi, a member of the Mujahideen Shura Council of Jerusalem, a Gazan militant group, killing Maqawi and injuring 11.[http://www.timesofisrael.com/palestinians-fire-barrage-of-mortars-into-southern-israel/ Hamas fires dozens of rockets, mortars into Israel, vows to launch more if Israel strikes again], Times of Israel 08-10-2012[http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4289511,00.html Dozens of rockets, mortars hit south], lana Curiel, ynetnews,8 Oct 2012{{cite web|url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201213/cmhansrd/cm121023/text/121023w0002.htm |title=Hansard 23 October 2012 |publisher=Publications.parliament.uk |access-date=2013-04-17}}
