Three Grad rockets pounded Ashkelon Saturday, with two of them hitting city houses.
One rocket landed in the proximity of a four-story building. Four people suffered minor injuries and several others suffered shock. The injured were taken to the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon.
Another Grad rocket hit a top-floor apartment which was empty at the time; and the third landed near one of the city’s schools. Overall, 27 people suffered shock in all three incidents.
Later Saturday, the Color Red alert sounded twice in Ashdod and blasts were heard throughout the city. The rocket landing sites were not immediately pinpointed; no injuries or damage were reported.
Five Qassam rockets were fired from northern Gaza in the morning hours, landing in Eshkol and Sha’ar Hanegev regional councils and causing no harm.
