KFAR SABA, Israel—A long-range rocket fired from the Gaza Strip slammed into a house in central Israel and wounded seven people early Monday, March 25, forcing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cut short a high-profile visit to Washington and prompting the military to deploy troops along Israel’s southern border.
Netanyahu promised a tough response while Gaza’s Hamas leaders went into hiding, setting the stage for a possible major conflagration just two weeks before Israeli elections.
