A Grad-type Katyusha rocket fired by terrorists in the Gaza Strip struck close to an apartment building in a residential area of Ashkelon on Friday, while two mortar shells exploded in the western Negev just a few hours later.
The Katyusha rocket hit the populated neighborhood just after 8:30 A.M., causing some damage to the nearby building and to a number of parked cars. There were no casualties in the incident, but at least two people were treated for shock. Residents said that the Color Red rocket alert sounded prior to the explosion.
At around 12:30 P.M., two mortar shells hit the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council.
The attack on Ashkelon was one of the first to strike the southern city after months of quiet since Israel launched Operation Cast Lead.
