News Brief

(IsraelNN.com) Two Kassam rockets hit north and south of Sederot several minutes ago. No injuries or damage was reported. The latest attacks brought to seven the number of rockets fired on the area Wednesday.

Sirens gave Sderot residents the usual 20-second early warning to scurry for cover before the rockets exploded. The danger from the rockets will increase dramatically during the Sukkot holiday, when Jews eat and sleep outside in temporary "booths' (sukkot), a reminder of the dwellings used during the 40 years in the desert between the Exodus from Egypt and the arrival in the Promised Land.
