JERUSALEM—A rocket fired from Gaza struck a residential home in southern Israel early Oct. 17 and the Israeli military began attacking Hamas terrorist sites in Gaza in response as days of rising tensions appeared to be erupting into a new round of violence.
The Magen David Adom medical service said a woman and her three children in the home in Beersheba were being treated for shock symptoms, after they fled to their shelter upon hearing sirens warning of the incoming projectile. It said two others were injured during the panic to seek cover.
