Light Injuries in Rocket Attack in Sderot by Hillel Fendel

(IsraelNN.com) Yet another Kassam rocket has landed in the city of Sderot, hitting a house and sending residents to the hospital.

The Kassam rocket, fired from Hamas Authority-controlled Gaza just over a kilometer away, landed on a house in Sderot this afternoon (Thursday). The blast occurred shortly after noon; seven people were reportedly lightly injured, suffering shock. Five of them were evacuated to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon.

The Parents Association in Sderot threatens not to send their children to school on Sept. 1, given that the enforcement of the school buildings is not expected to be completed by then.

Three or four Kassam rockets were fired at Sderot on Monday night, including one that hit a house and caused injuries. On Tuesday, another two rockets were fired, landing harmlessly in open areas in the Negev. Eleven Israelis have been killed in Kassam attacks, almost all of them in Sderot.
