Rocket fire from the Gaza Strip hit a building in Sderot.
The Associated Press reported that the building, hit Friday, was a kindergarten.
In response, Israeli combat aircraft hit components of Hamas’ infrastructure in Gaza, the army said in a statement Saturday.
No one was injured in the exchange. The kindergarten was empty at the time it was hit.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
