The Ashkelon area was attacked for a third time Sunday, when Palestinian Authority terrorists in Gaza fired a Kassam rocket at approximately 3:30 p.m.

The missile exploded in an open area in the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council area. No one was injured and no damage was reported.  A Kassam rocket landed south of the port city approximately two hours earlier, and a mortar attack was fired at the same area in the morning as well.  No injuries or damage were reported in any of the attacks.
