After a night devoid of rocket attacks, Hamas and other Palestinian factions resumed rocket fire at Israel Wednesday morning, despite suffering heavy tolls as Operation Cast Lead entered its twelfth day.

A total of nine rockets and mortar shells hit Israel throughout Wednesday morning. One person was lightly wounded and a number of people suffered from shock when a Grad-type rocket hit the Be'er Tuvia region near Ashdod. A building on the premises was damaged. Impact sites were also reported in Sha'ar Hanegev region, Eshkol region, Kibbutz Sdot Negev, and Ashkelon.

Following the mortar shell attack on Kibbutz Sdot Negev, a fire erupted. Firefighters rushed to the scene to battle the blaze.

No one was wounded in any of the other attacks, and no additional damage was reported.

Over 40 rockets were fired at southern Israel on Tuesday, causing damage to structures. Six people suffered from shock, but no other casualties were reported.

Magen David Adom paramedics arrived at 37 rocket impact sites throughout the day Tuesday.
