Rocket Ashkelon Narrowly Missed Hitting Gaza Babies

(IsraelNN.com) The Grad rocket that landed next to the Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon on the Sabbath last week narrowly missed killing two premature babies from Gaza who were admitted to the facility.

"When the Hamas shelling of Ashkelon started, the twins, a boy and girl, were still in the neonatal intensive care unit." The hospital spokesman added. "One of the Grad rockets fell a mere 50 meters from the hospital entrance. All the premature babies in the NICU unit, including the two Palestinian babies, were transferred to the hospital's bomb shelter for fear that the hospital itself would receive a direct missile hit."
