A Kassam rocket launched from the Gaza Strip hit a Negev high school. The rocket struck Wednesday morning near the Sha’ar Hanegev High School s music classroom, shattering windows but causing no injuries, Yediot Achronot reported. Fortunately there were no students at the place at the time of the attack, said Alon Shuster, head of the Sha ar Hanegev regional council. We are trying to go on with our daily routine in this abnormal situation. Shuster also said the Israeli government should do more to fortify the schools and other buildings, as the Palestinians have been launching rockets frequently to the areas near Gaza.
