A rocket landed in the western Negev city of Sderot on Tuesday afternoon as local teenagers were taking their Bagrut (Matriculation) exam in mathematics. The rocket caused no injuries or damage, but frightened several of the students. The students will be granted an extension on the exam due to the disruption.



Sderot students were granted an earlier extension by the Education ministry due to the fact that classes in the area have been cancelled recently, making it difficult for students to study for their exams.
