The children will surely remember this moment for the rest of their lives, said a local resident.
Thousands of civilians scrambled to shelters on Wednesday night when Hamas terrorists from the Gaza Strip fired yet another rocket towards southern Israel.
The rocket also disrupted a youth swim event in the community of Netiv HaAsara, causing about 80 kids to flee in panic.
There were no injuries.
