There are reports of injuries as Gaza-based terrorists continue firing rockets into southern Israeli townships. In the last round of rocket fire four people sustained light-to-moderate shrapnel injuries. Magen David Adom officials report two of the injured are from the Sderot region and two from the Eshkol Regional Council district.

Following the last wave of rocket fire, Sderot police have ordered the city’s marketplace closed, wishing to avoid an area where people congregate.
