The rocket hit a children’s bedroom but B’chasdei Hashem the children headed downstairs early that Friday to prepare themselves for school.

In the past, the same home was hit and in that case, a member of the family had just left the shower room when a rocket slammed into it.

“It was a miracle. We did not make it to the safe room. We understood the rocket impacted very close and we feared opening the bedroom door because we thought the rocket may have hit the living room. The upper floor was full of smoke and the smell was awful. Out house was hit back in 2007 and I have an account to settle with [Hamas Prime Minister Ismail] Haniyeh. For now, he is ahead 2:0”, the man of the house is quoted as saying.
