Rights group: Rockets injure Palestinians in Gaza

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Eight Palestinians, including two children and three women, were injured this week by rockets fired in populated areas across the Gaza Strip, a human rights group said Wednesday.

The Palestinian Center for Human Rights said a woman was seriously injured.

After one incident, according to the PCHR, an ordnance disposal unit arrived at the scene and collected the rocket's shrapnel, but the civil police never showed up to investigate the incident.

The group called on concerned authorities "to investigate these incidents, to take necessary measures to ensure the non-recurrence of such incidents and to provide protection to civilians."
