Hamas Demonstration Dud; Kassam Rockets Aren't

While the Hamas-inspired demonstration that would send tens of thousands of women and children towards the Gaza-Israel border was a dud as only 5,000 bothered to show up, the Palestinian terrorists continued their wicked ways, firing off kassam rockets at Israel, severely injuring another Israeli boy.

Apparently, even the Hamas thugs knew that attempting to breach Israel's border would be a completely different story than when they invaded Egypt.

The PRC claimed responsibility for the kassam attack in Sderot that left a 10-year old seriously injured.
Paramedics dispatched to the scene managed to stop the bleeding and evacuate the boy to the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon. A number of other residents were treated for shock.

A total of three rockets were fired toward Israel since noon. One landed in the southern town's industrial zone, another landed in a grove near a school while the third hit a residential neighborhood.
One of the kassams struck propane tanks, setting off a series of explosions.

UPDATE:
Jammie and Charles both note that the demonstrations are being touted as mass protests, despite the paucity of actual demonstrators.
