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.
