House in Israeli City of Beersheba Hit by Rocket Fired From Gaza

A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip hit a home in the southern city of Beersheba, Israel, on October 17.

Speaking during a Periscope video from the destroyed house, Israel Defense Forces media spokesman Jonathan Conricus called the attack a blatant act of aggression from Hamas and said that a mother and her three children survived the impact by evacuating to the bomb shelter in their home.

Hamas denied responsibility for the attack.

The IDF said that it had eliminated what it described as a terrorist squad that had been launching rockets. Credit: Israel Police via Storyful
