Palestinians tried again today to commit random murder in Israel; al-Reuters implies that it’s really no big deal: Militants fire rockets into Israel.
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Gaza militants fired rockets into southern Israel on Friday, striking a house and injuring three people including a baby, rescue services said.
Militant group Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack.The Israeli army said it was responding with artillery fire into empty areas in the northern Gaza Strip, an area which the Jewish state has declared a no-go area because it is used by militants to fire rockets into southern Israel.
The three injured were former settlers from the Gaza Strip who had been living in temporary housing at Karmia, an ambulance service spokesman said.
The army said a second rocket landed in an industrial zone close to the major coastal city of Ashkelon, causing damage but no injuries.
Makeshift rockets shot from Gaza seldom cause any damage or injury. Israel often retaliates for those attacks that do cause casualties.
