Terrorists Fire Grad Missile at Ashdod
October 26, 2011Terrorists from Gaza fired a Grad missile towards southern Israel late Wednesday evening.
The IDF Spokesperson said that the missile exploded in Ashdod. There were no physical injuries, but several people suffered from anxiety.

The driver managed to bypass the vehicle that was blocking the road, crossed the intersection and drove off.
