11:29: President Peres was in Ashkelon During Attack

11:29: President Peres was in Ashkelon During Attack


At least one person was injured by shrapnel as two rockets landed in Ashkelon a short time ago. A vehicle was significantly damaged in the attack when the rocket landed 7 meters (yards) away and it appears the driver of that vehicle was the victim.

President Shimon Peres was visiting the city when rockets came down this morning. His first stop was the city�s situation room, a well-fortified underground structure. He then visited victims in hospital and then a kindergarten in a fortified shelter. As the president was in the shelter the sirens went off. The president�s security personnel prohibited Mr. Peres from leaving and the report of his visit was only permitted after he left the area.

In Beersheva, over 40 people have been treated for hysteria in Soroka Medical Center on Wednesday morning. IDF artillery is pounding terrorist targets in Gaza together with combat helicopters.
