At least 15 rockets fired from Gaza struck southern Israel on Saturday...

That's what happened on Monday evening when, as rain blanketed Gaza and much of Israel's south coast, a rocket launched from Gaza struck a playground in Ashdod, killing a mother of four as she waited at an adjoining bus stop. She was the third Israeli fatality since the assault began. According to Palestinian sources, Israeli attacks have killed more than 300 people in Gaza.
