One of three rockets to hit the western Negev on Tuesday night landed near the home of Sderot Mayor Eli Moyal.  “This is how we live,” Moyal told journalists.  At the time of the strike Moyal was meeting with family and friends to discuss the possibility of running for an additional term as mayor.

The rocket hit the city as paramedics were treating a local man who had suffered a serious electric shock.  The paramedics continued their work and did not run for shelter.  None were injured in the attack.
