Officials in the Ashkelon area said that a second Kassam rocket fell, on the heels of a Kassam rocket that landed minutes earlier in an open field of Kibbuz Zikim, south of the city. That brings the total number of missiles thrown at Israel by Gaza Arab terrorists Tuesday to three - the two Kassams fired at Ashkelon, and a mortar shell fired earlier.

No injuries or damage were reported in the second Kassam attack.
