Report: Jihad post attacked in Gaza
Several hours after Grad rockets hit southern Israeli towns, Palestinian sources say Navy bombed al-Quds Brigades facility west of Khan Younis. IDF says unfamiliar with incident
The Israel Defense Forces said it was unaware of any attack.
On Monday night, Grad rockets fired from the Hamas-ruled territory landed near the southern Israeli cities of Ofakim and Netivot. A Qassam rocket exploded in an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council.
Four people suffered from shock in Netivot, and damage was caused to a road and a parked car.
It was terrifying," an Ofakim resident said. "We heard a boom – like a nuclear bomb. We thought it was thunder; there was smoke and explosions. We're dying of fear that another wave of Grads and Qassams will begin. We have no shelters or secure rooms, and the rocket fell about 10 meters (33 feet) from the houses."
One of the people who attended a wedding in a small hall near the rocket's landing site in the Netivot area said, "There was music, then we suddenly hear a loud blast. Everyone - little children and men – ran for cover. People fell over one another. It's a miracle no one was hurt."
Another person who attended the wedding said, "Luckily, the rocket landed after the chuppah, while everyone was already eating at the tables. If it had landed a few meters closer, this could have been a mass casualty event."
