Two rockets that slammed into downtown Sderot Friday morning lightly wounded two residents and damaged homes and cars. The injured were evacuated to Ashkelon’s Barzilai Medical Center. One of the homes damaged belongs to the Cohen family, whose son was injured last year in a Kassam attack. The family was in the home’s “safe room” during the attack. Another rocket landed in a cow barn in a western Negev kibbutz, causing damage but no injuries.
