A man in his 50s was killed Saturday night as more rockets fell in southern Israel, with missiles hitting Ashkelon. Two people were injured in Ashkelon, as Grad rockets struck several parts of the city.
One of the rockets hit in or near a house, and a very loud explosion was heard – indicating the possibility, a Magen David Adom spokesperson said, that a gas canister had been hit.
One person was taken to Barzilai Hospital in the city in serious condition, where he later died of his wounds. A second person was injured lightly to moderately when another rocket slammed into a street in the city minutes later.
The Red Color early warning system sounded in Sderot after the attack on Ashkelon, and another Grad rocket hit Ashdod as well. No injuries or damage were reported in that attack. Altogether, over 30 Grad missiles, Katyusha rockets, and mortar shells have fallen in southern Israel Saturday.
Meanwhile, Gaza sources said that the IDF had attacked a terrorist gang in southern Gaza Saturday night, minutes after the attack on Ashkelon. Two terrorists affiliated with Islamic Jihad were reported killed in that raid. The IDF has not yet commented on the report.
Earlier, IDF forces attacked a terrorist gang in the southern Gaza Strip that was preparing to launch long-range rockets at Israeli targets. The gang was also responsible for the firing of a Grad rocket towards southern Israel this past Wednesday. Five terrorists were reported killed in the attack.

Things are heating up.
The would all be suspects, and I'd imagine, soon wishing they were back in an Israeli jail.

They know who the Mullahs are. They know who the political/military leaders are, and at the right time and place, they should go boom. The foot soldiers, however, are standing there with a rocket launcher, getting ready to send another barrage aloft. They take them out immediately, as they should.

Dear Sirs/Madam(oiselle)s:
We seem to have a philosophical difference as to what does and doesn’t constitute “breaking news”. I list an article as such whenever it’s: 1. presently ongoing; and 2. likely to escalate and evolve, as this story has. Since I live in Israel, I usually post articles covering events here. You, however, seem to believe that if it bleeds and happens in Israel, it’s not “breaking,” and routinely remove it.
So that I do not keep listing stories as breaking and having them removed, please clarify your criteria if it is other than I have interpreted here.
Sincerely,
Eleutheria5
