Sunday, 28 December 2008Warning sirens sounded in Ashdod Sunday morning as three rockets launched from the Gaza Strip landed east of the city.
The rockets, apparently Grad type projectiles, marked the northernmost point where Hamas rockets have reached, more than 40 kilometers north of Gaza.
One of the rockets hit a courtyard of a private residence. The house's inhabitants were unhurt but all the windows shattered as the rocket landed.
Sirens also sounded in Gan Yavneh, a town not targeted in the past.
Between four and six Kassam rockets landed in Ashkelon on Sunday morning, Israel Radio reported.
No damage was reported in the attack but one woman suffered from shock.
Meanwhile, Defense Minister Ehud Barak decided on Sunday to extend the Hanukka vacation in schools within a 20km range of the Gaza Strip until further notice, due to the escalation of violence in the region.
The decision was made in consultation with Education Minister Yuli Tamir.
