Third rocket from Gaza explodes in residential Sderot
2017-12-09
[IsraelTimes] Projectile damages parked cars; two people suffer shock. Attack comes after IDF targets 2 Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, sites in response to earlier rocket-fire, reportedly wounding at least 14

A rocket fired from the Gazoo Strip went kaboom! in the Israeli town of Sderot Friday night, causing damage to several parked cars.

There were no casualties, though two people suffered shock.

"There was a huge kaboom. I heard glass shatter and car alarms. The house’s walls shook," a resident told the Ynet news website.

The rocket was the third launch of the evening, and came shortly after Israel struck Hamas targets in Gazoo in response to the previous projectile-fire.

The Israel Defense Forces said it hit a Hamas training facility and a weapons depot belonging to the terror group.

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gazoo said that 14 people were maimed, suffering what it described as light to moderate injuries. Rooters reported that as many as 25 people were maimed, including six children.

Witnesses told the news agency that most of the casualties were not Hamas men but civilians who lived in a building near the training camp.

The strike on Hamas positions came shortly after the army said its Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted a rocket fired from Gazoo. Sirens blared in communities near the Gazoo border soon afterwards, as a second rocket was fired. The army said it did not identify an impact.

The IDF said there were no injuries or damage from those earlier rockets.
