Sderot under seige
A Qassam rocket scored a direct hit on a home in Sderot yesterday.
The rocket was fired at Sderot in the morning hours, and hit a home in the Neot Rabin neighborhood. This neighborhood has suffered numerous rocket attacks in recent months.
A passerby was injured by shrapnel that hit his eye. He was evacuated to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon for treatment.
A few minutes after the attack, Minister of Social Affairs Isaac Herzog arrived at the scene. Herzog had been touring communities surrounding the Gaza Strip to deal with pending issues related to the welfare of the citizens suffering from the rocket attacks.
"When I visited the family, the father was suffering an anxiety attack," Herzog said. "We sat together, and we hugged. The main message I got from the family was that in spite of the difficulties, they feel no one recognizes the efforts they make to carry on a normal life under these conditions."
