Two people were in a serious condition and eight more were lightly injured after a Grad rocket fired from Gaza landed in the courtyard of a Yeshiva in Ashdod on Friday morning. All were taken to Kaplan Medical Center in Rehovot. An additional Grad that failed to explode subsequently fell in the area and was neutralized by the bomb squad.

Light damage was caused to the building as a result of the rocket fire.

Before reading the source, I knew it wouldn’t be a mainstream media outlet. If Israel injured even one civilian, that would be front page news, but yet another random attack against innocent Jews isn’t worth mentioning even when the terrorists get lucky and hit ten people?

Thanking evil savages for their acts in any way minimizes their evilness.
