Grad rocket hits family’s yard in southern Israel

One person treated for shock, building damaged

A grad rocket fired from Gaza landed in southern Israel Friday evening. The projectile landed in Netivot, near the Gaza border, in the yard of a house, near a Bnei Akiva religious youth center.

There were no injuries, but one individual was treated for shock by Magen David Adom and the building was damaged.

The attack came on the heels of a tumultuous week in which Hamas announced it had improved its rocket-launching technology to include up to six rockets at a time, and after dozens of rockets were fired at Israel — more than 50 of them on Monday.
