SNIPPET: "Police are working to figure out the origin of the rocket that was fired from the Gaza Strip Saturday evening and exploded near Kibbutz Nahal Oz, without causing damage or injures. A total of four rockets and two mortar shells were fired at Israel on Saturday, causing no injuries.
An initial examination revealed that the rocket fired at Nahal Oz was manufactured using professional means, most likely outside of the borders of the Gaza Strip.
The rocket had a diameter of 115 millimeters, and police sappers were working to locate fragments of it to be tested."

Grad missile lands in Ashkelon
Jerusalem Post ^ | 7/30/2010 | JPost
Posted on July 30, 2010 7:00:20 AM PDT by HearMe
Several people treated for shock; damaged caused to buildings, cars.
A Grad missile launched from the Gaza Strip landed in a central, residential area in the southern city of Ashkelon Friday morning.
Magen David Adom crews treated two people for shock.
The missile shattered numerous windows of the surrounding, multi-story buildings and vehicles in the area.
Ashkelon Mayor Benny Vaknin who arrived at the scene, said that the missile landed in the heart of a residential neighborhood and that Ashkelon citizens are unfortunately accustomed to such situations.
Vaknin emphasized that many educational institutions, schools and day-care centers in Ashkelon remain unprotected from rocket attacks and called on the defense ministers to continue efforts to reinforce vulnerable areas.
“I do not see how it will be possible for us to begin the school year with schools and day-cares left unprotected when a heavy cloud of lethal rocket and missile fire hovers above us,” Vaknin said.
A committee of Ashkelon parents threatened not to send their children to school at the beginning of the year if their school buildings would not be fortified, Israel Radio reported Friday.
The “color red” alert system was heard across the city prior to the rocket landing allowing residents to enter protected areas.
Police were urging residents to remain indoors for fear of additional rockets or missiles.
In a closed meeting Friday morning, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced that Israel views the Grad missile attack in Ashkelon with harsh severity.
The Aza Din al-Kassem Gazan terror group claimed responsibility for the attack.

Israel files complaint with UN over weekend rockets
Published: 08.01.10, 09:29 / Israel News
Israel has filed an official complaint with the UN following the Grad rocket fired on Ashkelon and the mortar shells that exploded in the Negev over the weekend.
In a letter to the United Nations Human Rights Council Israel charged that “the rockets were launched indiscriminately towards Israeli civilians and civilian targets, which constitutes a war crime and a crime against humanity.” Israel’s UN envoy in Geneva Aharon Leshno-Yaar wrote that the incident seriously threatens attempts to renew peace talks with the Palestinians.
