At least 10 hurt as rocket hits Ashkelon shopping centerJPOST:At least 10 people were wounded Wednesday evening, including a baby girl and her mother, when a rocket fired from Gaza hit the Hutzot Shopping Center in Ashkelon.
The baby was listed in moderate condition, her mother and two others were seriously wounded, five people were in light-to-moderate condition and two children were lightly hurt. Dozens of people were treated for shock. The casualties were evacuated to the city's Barzilai Hospital.
The rocket hit the top floor of the building, where offices and clinics are located, and the shopping center sustained considerable damage.
Kassam rockets terrorists usually fire at Israel do not have enough range to reach Ashkelon. Instead, they use Grad-type rockets to hit the city of 100,000, about 15 kilometers from the Gaza-Israel border.
The attack came as Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and US President George W. Bush concluded their meeting in Jerusalem.
Oh really? Isn't that EXACTLY what you have been doing?
Olmert said at the end of the talks that Israel would not tolerate attacks from Gaza terrorists.
