Israelis Enjoying a Wedding Suddenly Take Cover As Palestinian Terrorists Launch a Barrage of Unguided Rockets

3 rockets fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel earlier today appeared to have been launched to deliberately coincide with a ceremony marking what would have been the birthday of IDF soldier Oron Shaul who was killed in July 2014, and whose remains are held by Hamas. A military official could not yet say that this was definitively the case, but said it absolutely could be, noting the uncommon timing of the attack. In general, militant groups fire their rockets from Gaza under the cover of darkness, rather than in broad daylight, as in Friday’s launches. The rockets were fired at the Sha’ar Hanegev and Sdot Hanegev regions of southern Israel on Friday noon. Two of them were intercepted by the Iron Dome system, while the 3rd struck near a building in a community in the area, causing damage. The launches were also directed toward the area where the ceremony was being held, overlooking the place where Staff Sergeant Oron Shaul was killed in the 2014 Gaza war.
