First rocket attack since Tuesday
Wednesday night's barrage marks the first rocket attack since mid-day Tuesday, when Palestinians in Gaza fired a rocket at Ashkelon shortly after Prime Minister Ehud Olmert visited the southern city.During his visit, Olmert said that rocket attacks on Ashkelon are likely to continue. "This has been Israel's reality for the past 60 years, and this demands restraint as well as strength," the prime minister told board members of the Barzilai Medical Center in the city."The Grad is heavier than the Qassam, and we have no way of preventing these things (rocket attacks) from recurring."The prime minister later visited a school in town, where he discovered that students had no time to reach bomb shelters and were using their desks as the only defense against incoming rockets.Olmert asked the children to demonstrate what happens when a Color Red alert sounds, prompting the children to vanish under their desks in seconds.
