Terrorism

Woman wounded in massive Hamas missile attack

An Israeli woman was moderately wounded when "Palestinians" in the Gaza Strip unleashed wave after wave of missiles against the southern part of Israel Thursday afternoon.

The 51-year-old was hit by shrapnel when one of more than 60 fired mortars and rockets scored a direct hit on a collective farm infirmary.

Missile explosions reportedly ignited fires in a number of places, and Ashkelon declared a state of emergency after rockets -including at least one Grad-type missile - exploded in the city and on its beaches.

Kibbutz residents in the area were ordered to stay in security rooms and bomb shelters.
