An 82-year-old woman was lightly wounded by shrapnel from a rocket fired by Gaza terrorists in the Sdot Negev Regional Council this evening (Thursday).
The woman was wounded when a rocket landed near a home.
Magen David Adom (MDA) medics and paramedics treated the woman and evacuated her to Soroka Medical Center in Be’er Sheva.

A man was killed when a rocket struck a residential building in Rehovot Thursday evening, the first casualty Israel has suffered during Operation Shield and Arrow. Five other people were injured in the rocket strike and taken to Kaplan Hospital.
MDA EMTs Yedidya Hakmon and Tomer Pashko said: “When we arrived on scene we saw massive destruction, we immediately went in to search the apartments, in a third-floor apartment we found an unconscious male victim with a severe multi-trauma injury, and could only pronounce him dead. In a further apartment a 74-year-old male was found trapped with his leg under the rubble, he was rescued by the Fire Department, and taken by stretcher to the MDA ambulance that evacuated him to the hospital in moderate condition. Further MDA teams arrived on scene and provided treatment to three further victims in moderate condition and one in mild condition.”
