Palestinian Rocket Explodes in Israeli Kindergarten

A Palestinian terrorist rocket struck an empty kindergarten in Ashdod, Israel, on Monday, sending several people into shock and causing heavy damage to buildings in the area. The facility was empty due to a Home Front Command directive to keep schools and kindergartens closed. Local residents had complied with safety instructions, entering bomb shelters and safe rooms after hearing the warning siren.

By Monday evening, the day's total stood at 37 rockets fired at the South. One struck Beersheba, two hit Kiryat Malachi, seven fell in Netivot and seven landed in Ofakim. A rocket also fell east of Ashdod in the Hevel Yavne Regional Council, and another landed in the western Negev, injuring two. Police sappers had recovered the remains of 11 rockets by evening.

Since Operation Cast Lead was launched last week, 300 rockets have been fired at southern Israel. Ashkelon was hit by 80, with around half falling in built-up areas.

    • ever notice how before 911 our news reported terror attacks on isreal as an after story only worthy of mention in the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen, but after 911 every terror attack is a big deal? while we have only started to pay attention nationaly to this conflict kindergaten bombings in sderot and ashdod are actually so common place that the isrealies knew to empty them out for as a safety measure. the palastinians biggest problem is hamas doesnt lift finger one in the interest of protecting thier people only in using them to thier own ends. why is hamas launching rockets and claiming isreal is targeting children but not putting them in shelters as the isrealies do?

      and the israeli strike killed 30 people many of them children who sought the shelter for refuge. if there were truly hamas fighters firing on israeli forces, ground forces should've been sent in to handle that issue. your excusing of the bombing simply does not make sense as there was a much more effective solution with less bloodshed available. and yet again you fail to notice the consequences of the israeli action. when this situation is over and these children and other children of the middle east grow up in hatred of israel and become terrorists themselves to attack israel with their reason being the bloodshed of their family and friends from times past, will you still see this action as necessary or is it not repeating the same cycle of violence?
