A man was critically wounded on Wednesday afternoon when a Kassam rocket fired by Gaza terrorists hit the Netiv Ha’asara area.

The casualty was apparently a foreign worker in one of the greenhouses in the area.

He was evacuated to Ashkelon’s Barzilai Hospital.

On Wednesday, two Kassam rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip, landing not far from Sderot.

Following a relatively long period of calm, the Code Red alarm system sounded over Sderot once again, followed by an explosion.

Two people suffered from shock as a result of the blast, one of them a girl. They were treated by an MDA team and evacuated to a shock treatment center.
