The Kassem rocket attacks by Gaza terrorists continued for the fifth straight day Saturday, as the Red Alert warning system sounded at least three times during the day. As of Saturday night, a dozen Kassems and 5 mortar shells had hit areas in the Negev, with six falling in Sderot. One rocket caused considerable damage to a factory in Sderot's industrial zone and another burst a water pipe, halting the flow of water to some of the city's residents for several hours.
One person was lightly injured by shrapnel when a rocket hit a house in Neve Eshkol, and four others suffered from shock in the attack. All were taken to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon for treatment. Three other people in Zohar, a moshav near Gaza, were also treated for shock when a rocket hit near them. Even the dead had no quiet Saturday; terrorists fired a rocket at the cemetery in Kfar Maimon, and another was fired later at the Sderot cemetery. No damage was reported in either attack.
