Four-Year-Old Boy Hurt by Palestinian Rocket at Kibbutz


[Ynet News] Shmulik Hadad - A four-year-old boy, Amir Arad, was injured by shrapnel Monday after a Kassam rocket landed in Kibbutz Gevim. Ilan Arad, the boy's father, said, "We had just returned from the north and the boy was sitting at the back seat of the car. As we arrived at the community we heard the Color Red (alert system), and the Kassam landed in our backyard. The shrapnel infiltrated the car near the fuel tank and hit the boy's shoulder." The boy's mother, Lior, said, "My daughter screamed that Amir had blood coming out of his shoulder." Palestinian gunmen fired four Kassam rockets at Israel on Monday morning. One of the rockets landed near Shaar Hanegev Regional Council head Alon Schuster, who said he heard the rocket fly over him as he was jogging.
