House hit as Qassam barrage from Gaza Strip strikes Sderot

Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday fired six Qassam rockets and 12 mortar shells at the western Negev. One of the Qassams directly struck a house in the town of Sderot, damaging the building.

A woman and her 2-year-old son were in the house at the time of the attack and managed to take shelter in a protected room.

The rocket came through the ceiling and landed on the boy's bed causing extensive damage, relatives told Army Radio.

Yaakov Dahan, a resident of the house, told Haaretz that this was the second time his family had been barely missed a direct Qassam hit. Seven months earlier, Dahan and other family members left a Sderot synagogue moments before a Qassam landed outside the building.

I thought that the Qassams were a mere annoyance. :sarcasm:
