Man Killed in Morning Kassam Attack in Sderotby Ezra HaLevi and Hillel Fendel (IsraelNN.com) Four Kassam rockets were fired at the Western Negev city of Sderot Sunday morning, leaving one man dead. A rocket crashed into his car, and he suffered sharp gashes in his neck. The Israeli civilian crashed into a wall, was rushed to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon, and died within an hour of his wounds. Another person was lightly injured, and several people were treated for shock. School children waiting for buses to take them to their first day of classes outside of Kassam range in areas surrounding Sderot, panicked upon the sounding of the "Color Red" rocket alert. Earlier in the morning, another two rockets landed in central Sderot, causing damage but no casualties. Today's victim was Oshri Oz, 36, of Hod HaSharon, an employee of the Sderot-based "Peretz Bonei HaNegev" construction company. Survived by his pregnant wife and 3-year-old daughter, Oshri was Israel's tenth fatal casualty of a Kassam rocket in the past three years - and the second in the past week. Among the dead were three toddlers and a 17-year-old girl. Click here to see a short Foreign Ministry video on the background and effects of Kassams in Sderot.
