Israeli student killed in Qassam attack

A Israeli college student was killed on Wednesday after a Qassam rocket landed in a parking lot near the Sapir College campus in southern Israel. Medics alerted to the scene also treated two more Israelis for minor wounds. The 30-year-old student who was killed reportedly died shortly after sustaining massive wounds to his chest.

Over 30 Qassam rockets were fired by Palestinian groups from Gaza on Wednesday afternoon, hitting a factory in an industrial zone and striking in and around the town of Sderot and other Gaza vicinity.

The last barrage included 11 rockets which were fired successively over the course of several short minutes. Hamas has claimed responsibility for the rocket attacks. (YNET)
