Rocket strikes continue in Israel
Quote:
Hamas militants in Gaza claimed responsibility for a volley of rockets that struck the southern Israeli town of Ofakim on Saturday. It's the latest in the ongoing tit-for-tat violence between Israel and Gaza militants over the past three days.

Two children and a man were injured when one of the rockets directly hit a building in Ofakim, according to Eli Bin, an emergency official in the region. Rockets also struck near the Israeli city of Beer Sheva, about 25 kilometers east of Ofakim, with two directly hitting a house and a car, Bin said.

Hamas' armed wing, the Izzedine al Qassam Brigades, said it fired four long-range Grad rockets at Ofakim. The strike was one of more than two dozen rocket and mortar attacks fired from Gaza into Israel Saturday, including a long-range missile that struck the Israeli port city of Ashdod, injuring three people, authorities said.
