The city of Ashkelon announced late Thursday night that it, too, will close its schools Friday due to the risk of rocket fire, according to a report by Israel’s Channel 12 television news.
The announcement was made after Gaza terrorists launched their late-night attack on Israel shortly after 10 pm, violating the so-called “ceasefire” brokered by Egypt between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group for the fourth time since it began 5 am Thursday morning.
