A rocket struck the roof of an 8-story residential building in Ashdod on Sunday afternoon.
The
rocket penetrated the elevator shaft and descended five stories before
exploding and causing extensive damage to the building. Two people were
lightly injured and thirty were treated for shock.
Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfekld said "We're now seeing large rocket
salvos involving 5-10 projectiles. This is an increase from what we've
seen before."
A local resident Gaby Klonkie, 30, said he heard "an
enormous explosion. I saw all the people running out of the building and
the ambulances. It was terrifying," he said. Klonkie lives two
buildings away.
