A rocket hit a private home in Moshav Mishmeret in the Kfar Saba region early Monday morning, injuring the six residents in the house.
Of those injured, one 50-year-old woman was mildly injured with burns and injuries from shrapnel, three adults were lightly injured and two toddlers were lightly injured. Several neighbors are being treated for shock.
Security forces have confirmed that the rocket came from the Gaza Strip.
The house that was hit by the rocket is reportedly still on fire, with the fire department attempting to control the blaze before the building collapses. Unofficial footage shows smoke trailing and flames blazing above a cottage-like house, with the Fire Department treating the flames.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was updated during his visit to Washington about the rocket fire. He is expected to enter a secure, urgent phone call with the IDF chief of staff, the head of the Shin Bet, the National Security Council and other senior security officials.
