Those brave palestinian resistance fighters have fired a Qassam at a Zionist installation (i.e. a kindergarten), wounding a Zionist occupation soldier (i.e. a schoolgirl)
Welcome to Palestine Today, a service of the International Middle East Media Center, www.imemc.org, for Tuesday, December 21st 2010.
A Qassam rocket struck the Ashkelon beach early Tuesday, exploding in an open field near a kindergarten and lightly wounded a girl on her way to school.
The girl was treated on the spot by Magen David Adom paramedics; two other people were suffering from shock. A number of buildings in the area sustained light damage.
There were about 10 children in the kindergarten when the rocket struck about seven meters away, said a teacher. “I quickly got out of my car, ignoring the siren to help the children. I gathered them together and kept them busy.”
Residents of the area had felt that a strike could be imminent recently, she said. “The doors are always open and the children are not allowed to leave the area,” she said. “We are very strict about that.”
This brings the number of rockets striking Israel over the last two days to 13.
