One Israeli was wounded moderately and two lightly as a result of the rocket fire. Several trauma victims were also reported.
The rocket barrage followed an Israel Defense Forces strike on the Gaza Strip which resulted in the deaths of five Islamic Jihad militants.
According to IDF sources, the strike was targeted at the cell responsible for launching a Grad rocket that exploded in Ashdod on Wednesday.

Israel government should allow its citizens to make and send rockets into civilian Gaza! that will stop Gaza rockets to Israel very quick. no present remedy works. words will not solve problem.
Islamic Jihad an ally of Hamas needs to be stopped. This can only be done with ground forces. This is the position these terrorist groups are putting Israel into again. We have seen this pattern over and over. They leave Israel no other choice, but to defend itself.
"Whether or not attacks actually result in civilian casualties, they are in violation of international law, which also prohibits attacks aimed at spreading terror among the civilian population. The patterns of attacks and statements by members and leaders of Palestinian groups also indicate that they have no qualms about launching attacks against civilians and that they in fact carry out such attacks intending to kill and injure Israeli civilians. Such attacks constitute war crimes." Amnesty International
is not that the Negev desert?
This for that.
A Zionist would know a terrorist very well.
its a matter of time, everything will be change . keep this in your mind ,, we have a Rights .
Yet
What did you call the Jewish "terrorists" operating against Britain in 1947-48?
wahts about ur arme????????????? Angels?????? looooooool
In 1947-8 we called the terrorists "terrorists." Now, some call them heroes. If you want excuses, blame it on 60+ years of hatred and violence. But we all know who terrorists are. They are people who kill innocent civilians to agitate their foes and delight their friends. Use that as a criterion and one man's terrorist is every man's terrorist.
Targeting Schools and Apartment buildings with no military personnel in them? That's your idea of a freedom fighter. I suppose you would applaud them if they hit your home with a rocket.
And did not walk toward a 2 month old infant and cut her throat. You call them freedom fighters? I call them animals,beasts,human rejects.Especially after seeing pictures from the killing of Vadim Norzich and Yossi Avrahami in Ramallah.Do you know another difference between freedom fighters fighting against England and Palestinian freedom fighters?Jews fought to have a country and Arabs fight to destroy Israel.What? That they have no weapons to do it? But that is exactly why you want Israel to lift the blockade no? So they have the access to better and deadlier weapons,huh Silvienne?
Despicable terrorists.
return to europe from where u came ,, israel does not have rights in our land . expect more rockets as small punish and later israel will be earsed from the map .
Not much to choose between the two...
you are the terrorists.
So, my friends on the reservation should feel free to bomb civilians? Including your home? You stole their continent.
Hamas and Jihad Islam's goals are to take over all of Israel. What kind of a misinformed post is that?
It was never your land, and just keep waiting for Israel to be erased. Why don't you get on with your life. Study to be a plumber or an electrician and fix something.
Fact: America is built on stolen land. Fact : there always has been a jewish presence in the current land, as for arabs , they do have a portion of this land , but most of them are imports from around. When Egypt occupied Gaza, do you remember a single act of terror in Cairo by gaza militants? If you do , please send me the link, otherwise stay out of " Idaho, Wyoming, cleveland, as all these and much more still have Indian names.
When people lose a war it is no longer there land. You don't see England crying to the United States saying they want there 13 colonies back. You are just sore losers. It's really too bad that you as a people are such a mess that you can't fathom taking a diplomatic route to freedom. As you can see the terrorist route you chose has gotten you nowhere in 60 years if anything it has worsened your conditions. Get over your drama and move forward as a people.
Israel pulled out of Gaza and immediately after the Arabs were given all of Gaza Hamas started firing rockets. It seems the worst thing for Israel to do is to end the occupation. If they leave the west bank then they will have rockets coming from both sides. Israel returned all of the Sinai to Egypt, so Egypt should have no reason to want war. But the cries of war in Egypt get louder everyday. The problem isn't occupation, it is religion.
Name me one Arab king of Israel? Does it mention Israel in the Quran? Jerusalem mentioned in the Quran? Arab ruler of Israel? Jerusalem was ever a capital of Arab country? Palestinians ever have a country before? Or a king? The answer to all of the above is NO!!! So maybe you should move momo
An interesting question where do you live on your land?
After all, its stolen Mexican land(how does that logic sound to you)
We have been here much longer than you Arabs who immigrated from Arabia to Judea, land of the Jews. Some Jews are from Europe, some are from your idiotic Arab countries and many of us have been right here for hundreds of years. Your grandparents were not from here, this I know. You are a recent newcomer to my land as you call for me to be destroyed. Go back to Arabia and stop squatting the Holy Jewish land of Judea. Fire rockets all you want, you war mongers only bring your own destruction closer. God is watching my friend.
