Large firefighting forces are attempting to take control of a fire raging in the industrial area of Sderot, after a rocket launched from Gaza directly hit the facility.
At least four employees who were in the factory at the time managed to escape safely. Another rocket exploded in a compound outside the city, which was empty at the time.
After the Iron Dome battery successfully intercepted two rockets fired from Gaza yesterday, more rockets were fired today toward the western Negev area. Palestinian militants launched tonight (Saturday) two rockets at Sderot and the western Negev.
One of the rockets hit a factory in the industrial area of Sderot, which began to catch on fire. No injuries were reported following the rockets fire and police raised the state of alert following the escalation in the Gaza region.
