Israel Mulls Response to Rocket Attacks

One Israeli was killed and scores were injured after approximately 100 rockets were fired at southern Israel over the weekend. Rockets fired by Palestinians in Gaza fell in Beersheba and the Ashkelon area. One rocket fell on a school in Beersheba causing extensive damage but no injuries.

An Israeli man was killed Saturday night when a rocket exploded near a house in Beersheba. Six others were injured in the explosion, including two who were in critical condition Sunday. Other Israelis were injured when rockets exploded in Ashkelon, Ofakim, Ashdod and elsewhere in the western Negev over the weekend.

Terror Groups Change Tactics; Avoid Iron Dome -Anshel Pfeffer

After Palestinian launch teams realized that the intercept systems deployed in the past two weeks around Ashkelon and Be'er Sheva provided near-perfect protection from rockets, they began targeting Ashdod and Ofakim more frequently.

And when they did aim at Be'er Sheva on Saturday night, they did not fire one or two rockets, as in the past, but rather a volley of seven rockets almost simultaneously. Iron Dome intercepted five of them successfully, but one penetrated the defense system, killing a resident.
