[Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA: Since the rocket missed the kindergarten it is
not clear that it matters.
Some cynics have suggested that since the Olmert team is waiting for a
significantly successful terror attack before authorizing substantial action
that the Olmert team “deploy” their own families next to the Gaza Strip so
that they can supply the photo-op deaths.]
7 Qassams land near Sderot Monday morning
Rockets fall outside town at the same time thousands of children were making
their way to kindergartens and schools. ‘My daughter called me terrified and
hysteric,’ one mother says, ‘our children are studying under fire’

While thousands of children were making their way to school Monday morning,
the Color Red alert was heard in Sderot, followed by two loud explosions.
Two Qassam rockets landed outside of town, causing no injuries or damage.
A sixth rocket landed near a kindergarten in town shortly after; several
people suffered shock and a house was damaged.
A seventh rocket landed just outside Sderot, causing no injuries or damages.
Earlier, Palestinian gunmen fired three rockets from northern Gaza; the
Qassams landed in open fields near Sderot. No one was injured and no damage
was caused in this attack as well.
Sderot residents told Ynet that the rockets fell while their kids were on
their way to their schools and kindergartens. “When the alarm went off, the
bus driver stopped near one of the fortified houses. He asked the girls to
run and hide there,” a mother said.
“My daughter called me terrified and hysteric. Now she has to start her
school day in such a state. I still don’t understand why they decided to
open the school year in Sderot. Our children are studying under Qassam
fire,” she added.
Two rockets were also fired on Sderot Sunday, the first day of school.
Islamic Jihad’s military wing, the al-Quds Brigades, claimed responsibility
for the attack.
Sderot’s parents association had agreed to open the school year in town on
time, despite previous threats to keep the children at home due to the
government’s failure to fortify schools.
