Ashkelon school Principal Yitzchak Abarjil explains he was in shul, at a family simcha on Shabbos morning when sirens sounded at about 8:40am. A few minutes later, a �most powerful explosion� was heard and a short time later, he learned from a security official that his school was hit.
Abarjil made his way to the school, confirming the destruction from the 170mm rocket was massive, heavily damaging no less than eight classrooms. �Glass, concrete, furniture were everywhere. The sight was horrible�forget the physical damage. Seeing the destruction and realizing what could have been chas v�sholom is really frightening. Every metallic ball [contained in the rocket] leaving its mark in the stone walls could have been a student, an innocent pupil. We have grown too accustomed to the situation. Not enough is being done to stop the attacks.�
