Israel under fire: Schools closed in south due to rockets - Israel TodayIsrael under fire: Schools closed in south due to rockets

By midday Sunday, some 130 projectiles had been fired at communities across the western Negev region over a 48-hour period. At least two dozen Israelis have been injured, some seriously.
