Police say rocket, not shrapnel, hit Sderot, sappers at scene
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice say officers are at the scene of an apparent rocket impact in the southern city of Sderot, indicating that the projectile directly hit the area and was not intercepted.
“Sappers are handling the item in order to safely remove it from the scene,” a police spokesperson says in a statement.
