Hamas Rocket Hits Major Israeli City for First Time
(Reuters) - A rocket fired by Hamas on Thursday landed in a major Israeli city for the first time, causing no casualties or damage. The Kassam rocket slammed into an industrial zone in the coastal city of Ashkelon, 5.5 miles from the Gaza Strip, the army said. It was the furthest a Kassam had been fired into Israel. "It's clear the Palestinians are now upping the ante," said an adviser to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. "Israel cannot tolerate the use of rockets against its major cities."
