2 BROTHERS, 8 AND 19, SERIOUSLY HURT IN KASSAM STRIKE IN SDEROTSaturday, February 9, 2008 Two brothers were seriously hurt by a Kassam rocket in Sderot on Saturday February 9, 2008. Two Sderot residents, brothers aged eight and 19, were seriously wounded Saturday evening when a Qassam rocket struck the backyard of a home in the city. The two were rushed to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon with the 8-year-old suffering serious wounds to the lower extremities. The boys' mother and another brother were brought to the hospital suffering shock. The rocket that wounded the brothers was one of three that hit the rocket-weary city Saturday evening. Three additional rockets were fired into southern Israel earlier Saturday, causing no casualties or damage. The armed wing of the Islamic Jihad, Al-Quds Brigade, claimed responsibility for Saturday evening's Qassam attack. Also Saturday, the Israel Air Force targeted four Qassam rocket-launching squads in Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip, following a barrage of 30 rockets on Friday that pounded southern Israeli communities.
