More Sirens & Rockets in Ashkelon - Jan 1

So far today 23 rockets have been fired towards southern Israel. In this clip a rocket comes in at 28 seconds. If you look in the center of your screen you can see the black smoke coming up. Fortunately no one was injured. The sirens have been going on and off all week with rockets raining down all over the area.

do you know if the playground in ashkelon that was recently built about a year ago is okay?

[ocala88]

I believe so, haven't heard any reports of anything landing on it. A house nearby though was hit tonight, no one was seriously hurt.

I live in Ashkelon.I was here of course all through cast lead. I remember just in one day we had about 15 air raids. I think there was nothing else that could be done but send in the IDF. NO ONE complained... It IS a lot quieter now...but we all know ''they are'' stockpiling for the next round...

BTW, re previous comments - I also prefer- if one could say that! - the siren, because I find the woman saying zeva adom actually more alarming than the siren.
