Several Sderot residents were reported to be suffering from shock following the attack, and were treated by Magen David Adom personnel on the spot. The rockets hit at around 7:30 AM. The Red Dawn early-warning alert system worked, providing residents with 15-20 seconds of advance warning before the missiles landed.
One Arab-fired rocket landed in the N'vei Eshkol neighborhood, shattering windows of one house. Another rocket landed near the HaRoeh School in Sderot, which is empty of students during the summer vacation. The other rockets landed in relatively open areas.
Angry city residents held a stormy protest demonstration this morning. "Sharon Bore'ach, Kassam Rotze'ach" - "Sharon Runs Away, While Kassams Kill" - was the theme of the rally, which included burning tires.
Gush Katif also came under heavy attack over the night and this morning. The terrorists fired at least ten shells early this morning: four at N'vei Dekalim, four at Gadid, one at Netzer Hazani, and another one at Rafiach Yam. No one was hurt, though several houses were hit.
Later this morning, another four rockets hit Gadid, followed by another one that smashed into a home in N'vei Dekalim; no one was hurt, but heavy damage was caused. Residents have been asked not to walk around outside unnecessarily. The IDF has not retaliated.
The attacks at the Negev continued around noon with a Kassam rocket at the Shaar HaNegev Industrial Zone. A fire broke out as a result, but no injuries were reported.
