Four rockets were launched by Palestinian Authority terrorists at Israel by noontime on Thursday. One landed outside of the western Negev city of Sderot. A third fell in Israel, in an open area in the western Negev. No one was hurt and no damage was reported.
A pregnant woman in the Palestinian Authority was lightly injured and had a miscarriage when one of the two rockets that didn’t reach Israel hit her northern Gaza home instead. Two children were also lightly wounded in the misdirected attack. It is unclear where in Gaza the second rocket landed.
A total of seven attacks were launched Wednesday. One exploded in an area just south of the city of Ashkelon. Another barely missed a gathering of hundreds of children in Sderot, sending one person into shock but causing no other injuries or damage. A third hit a kibbutz and two others landed near the Sufa crossing. The rest fell in open areas in the western Negev.
Kadima Knesset member David Tal demanded to know how long the Prime Minister would allow the attacks to continue before taking action.
“How long with you overlook it? Will it take 40 more Kassams, or a rocket landing on a school for us to react?” asked Tal. “Residents of the area live in constant fear, and they must be provided the same peace and quiet as the rest of the residents in the country,” he said.
Deputy Prime Minister Eli Yishai concurred, saying that Israel should not “sanctify” its restraint policy, and should allow the IDF to respond to specific attacks.
