PA Rocket Attacks Continue; Sderot Home Suffers Direct Hit

Nissan Ratzlav-Katz, IsraelNationalNews, 14.12.07 5 Tevet 5768. Palestinian Authority terrorists launched six rockets at Jewish communities in the western Negev on Thursday. One rocket slammed into a home in the city of Sderot, moderately wounding a woman. Israel Air Force jets struck back at enemy forces in Gaza. In addition to the injured woman, at least a dozen people suffered the effects of shock as a result of the late afternoon rocket attack. Most were treated at the site of the attack, which was near a local synagogue. The rocket caused extensive damage and almost hit nearby gas canisters. Israel Electric Company workers were dispatched to repair power lines that were exposed as a result of the bombing. PA rockets fired from Gaza damaged several other buildings and cars during the day. Knesset Member Gideon Saar (Likud) responded to the terror attacks by calling on Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to stop his talks with the Palestinian Authority. Before working on a final agreement, Saar said, Olmert should provide basic security to residents of Sderot and other western Negev towns.
