Rocket Fire Rattles Israeli City
Posted on: Saturday, 10 May 2008, 09:00 CDT
A barrage of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip rattled residents of Israel's western Negev region Saturday, damaging buildings but causing no casualties.
Seven rockets fell onto Israeli territory, including one in the courtyard of a college in Sderot that damaged a building, according to the Jerusalem Post, which reported that two city residents were treated for shock in the wake of the barrage.
The newspaper said Hamas has claimed responsibility for the rocket barrage, maintaining it was in response to overnight bombing runs conducted in Gaza by the Israel Air Force.
The exchange of hostilities came after Friday's incident in which an Israeli man was killed by a mortar shell fired into a settlement at Kfar Aza.
