Heaviest rocket volley yet hits Beersheba. 170 in one day

According to first reports, a house and a sports center were hit in downtown Beersheba by incoming rockets from Gaza Thursday evening – at least 20 in a single volley. Ambulances racing to the scenes found a number of shock victims but no one with bodily injuries. More missiles were aimed for the first time at the Dead Sea region – also in southern Israel. Altogether 170 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip Thursday, the highest figure so far.
