Hamas is really asking for it. Gaza rocket hits Israeli city.
JERUSALEM - A rocket fired from Gaza exploded in a shopping center in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon on Wednesday, wounding at least three people and leaving two trapped under rubble, officials said.
Rescue service spokesman Eli Bean said two babies were among the wounded. Witnesses told Israeli radio stations that the rocket caused considerable damage and Bean said at least two people were trapped.
The rocket attack came as President Bush wrapped up talks in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. The Israeli leader said at the end of the talks that Israel would not tolerate attacks from Gaza militants.
