TODDLER HURT AFTER KASSAM HITS HOME

Monday, December 17, 2007

Father and son stand in the area of their house where a Kassam hit yesterday in Kibbutz Zikim damaging their house and wounding their toddler in the face on December 18, 2007. After a near-miss at one western Negev kibbutz over the weekend, Kibbutz Zikim was less fortunate Sunday when a rocket landed directly under the window of a kibbutz residence, causing extensive damage and hurting a three-year-old boy. Both mother and son were evacuated to Ashkelon's Barzilai Medical Center, where the boy was treated for scratches to his face and Katzir was treated for shock. Their house has a "secure room," Katzir said, but she hadn't heard any alarm sounded alerting her to take cover. All photos by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye.
