Kassam rockets fired at Sderot earlier this hour hit a factory  warehouse causing a fire. In addition, several cars went up in flames due to a Kassam hit on a street in town. Firefighters are working to extinguish both fires.

Shimon Romach, National Fire Department Commissioner, has called for additional trucks and forces to be transferred to the Sderot area from central Israel to deal with the increased incidents of fires resulting from rockets fired by Arabs in Gaza.
