"Suddenly, we were sitting here, and we saw two rockets fall here. We started to run, and a man who was asleep got injured. We ran, but now I look to the business, and to the house, everything is destroyed."

Palestinians have launched several rocket attacks from Gaza into Israeli territory in the past two weeks.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he holds the Palestinian Authority responsible.
