1,700 Rockets fired into Israel from the Gaza Strip

In the 14 months since the Gaza strip was handed over to the Palistinians, the Palistinians have fired 1,700 rockets into Israel hitting the city of Sderot and the surrounding area, causing much destruction. Now, the inevitable has finally happened.

In two rocket attacks on downtown Sderot, 57 year old Fatima Slutzker was killed, a 24 year old security officer was severely wounded resulting in the amputation of both his legs, and 6 others were injured.

In another attack a 17-year-old boy was seriously injured and two others lightly wounded when the third Kassam rocket attack of the day slammed into the center of Sderot.
One hour later, another rocket hit the city. No one was injured in the attack and no damage was reported, but residents were again traumatized by the unending attacks on their community.

Ashkelon was also attacked again. Fortunately no one was wounded, but damage was caused to at least one building, as well as a number of cars.
