One of 14 rockets launched around noon by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terror group into Israel from the Gaza Strip on Monday afternoon fell into a children’s playground in Sderot, hitting the sandbox.
The playground where the rocket hit is located near the Hesder Yeshivah in Sderot.
Police immediately were dispatched to remove the shrapnel.
Rabbi Dovid Fendel, the yeshiva’s dean, said: “During a class by Rabbi Asher Weiss, a missile fell a few meters away from the classroom, in a playground. That’s what our neighbors from Gaza wished us. We build playgrounds and they destroy them – but it won’t stop us,” Arutz Sheva reported.
“Our students left for their home, which are near the yeshiva, to ensure that everyone was okay. They will return to the yeshiva soon, because the Torah, Zionism, and life continue on. We will rebuild this playground beside the yeshiva, and it will be the most beautiful playground in the city. We are strong,” Rabbi Fendel said.
Twelve of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome according to the IDF spokesperson. There were no physical injuries.
