Grad rockets hit Beersheba; Iron Dome intercepts rockets

Gaza terrorists’ response to Jabari hit includes Grad fire on Beersheba, Ashdod and Ofakim; air defense system

At around 8 pm Wednesday, some four hours after Israeli aircraft killed top Hamas commander Ahmed Jabari, terrorists in Gaza fired Grad rockets toward Beersheba and Ofakim. Two rockets landed in Beersheba and caused damage to a vehicle and stores, but no injuries were reported. At least 20 rockets were fired toward the city.

The Iron Dome air defense system successfully intercepted 17 rockets, two of which were fired toward Ashdod. Another rocket fired toward Ashdod landed in an open area.
