Qassam rocket fired at Israel kills two children in Gaza StripA Qassam rocket fired by Palestinian militants struck the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, killing an eight-year-old boy and his six-year-old sister, and injuring five other children. The rocket, fired at Israel, fell short and hit the children's house in the village of Beit Lahiya. No group claimed responsibility. Moaiya Hassanain, a Palestinian health official, said the wounded were evacuated to hospital for medical treatment. The Kamal Adwan hospital identified the dead children as eight-year-old Wesam Abed Allah and his six-year-old sister Hala. The Associated Press had earlier quoted witnesses as saying the blast was the result of the children playing with a homemade rocket or a mortar shell that they had stumbled upon. It is not uncommon for Qassam rockets fired at Israel to land inside the Gaza Strip. On Monday, a Qassam rocket hit a preschool in the western Negev, causing damage to surrounding buildings but no injuries. --- Guess what the photo is for the story? |
