Wounded man was shielding children from harm

The 33-year-old man who was moderately to seriously injured by shrapnel earlier this morning in the Eshkol region was helping children to safety when he was hurt.

According to Ynet, the man stood near a kindergarten during the attack, and managed to push a teacher and a number of children into the fortified room, but did not have enough time to enter himself.

In sweeps of the area, residents discovered that a rocket hit a barn earlier today, killing several cows and causing extensive damage to the structure, Walla reports.
