Long-Range Rockets Fired from Gaza Land Near Kiryat Gat, Ashkelon
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - Palestinians in Gaza fired at least two Grad rockets deep into Israel Wednesday night. One landed in Lachish, near Kiryat Gat, while another fell near Ashkelon, damaging a road. The attacks represent an escalation in the firing of longer-range rockets. The last time such rockets were fired at Israel was in March. Local residents who heard air raid sirens rushed into safe areas and shelters to take cover. Five people were lightly injured while running for shelter in Ashkelon. The Israel Air Force bombed a number of targets in Gaza in response.
