The sixth Kassam rocket fired into Israel by Palestinians on Friday hit a home in Sderot, lightly wounding a 17-year-old boy. Several others were treated for shock and the boy was evacuated to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon. Magen David Adom medics treated the other victims at the scene. The house sustained heavy damages in a barrage during which three other rockets were fired into the city's open territories. Earlier Friday, two rockets were fired into the town causing no casualties or damage.
Earlier, Palestinians fired eight mortar shells into the Gaza periphery town of Netiv Hashayara on Friday afternoon. Most of the shells landed in open territories. |
