Sderot wakes Thursday to another two Qassam missiles from Gaza, day after 11 missiles killed a woman, injured five civilians. Hamas claims the latest barrage.

Parents are keeping children home from school as government deliberates their partial evacuation. Wednesday night, three boys were injured, one critically, at a playground in the town center after Fania Slotzker, 57, a mother of two, was killed by a Qassam missile in the morning. The Qassam that killed her landed on the street where Defense Minister Amir Peretz and his family live. One of Peretz’s security guards, a 24-year-old, was severely wounded and lost his legs. Hamas and Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack.

Thirteen Qassams have battered Sderot from Wednesday morning, 102 in November. Four more were fired into S. Ashkelon Wednesday night and two struck Zikkim.
Tuesday night, five Qassam missiles hit Sderot. Gaza Palestinians fired an RPG at an Israeli border patrol, stepping up attacks on IDF units guarding the border fence.

The High Court of Justice on Wednesday gave the state two weeks for a detailed plan to protect every classroom within range of Gaza missile attacks. The court rejected the Home Front’s assertion that all pupils were 15 seconds away from exiting shelters and did not need extra protection.
