A man was killed after a rocket hit a four-story building in Rehovot, penetrating one of the apartments. Thirteen other people sustained minor injuries, five of them suffering from shock.
At the same time, a barrage of rockets was fired at dozens of locations near the Gaza Strip and in the lowland area. Islamic Jihad claims that the missile that hit the streets was an Iranian-made Burak 13. IDF said it was examining the possibility that the PIJ had launched a new configuration of rockets that had been improved.
