Woman injured by Gaza rocket fire nearly one year ago dies
Nina Gisdenanova, 74, passes away after her building in Ashkelon was hit by a projectile last November
A woman has died nearly a year after suffering injuries in a rocket attack into southern Israel from Gaza.
Nina Gisdenanova, 74, died last week at the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, The Times of Israel reported Sunday. She was in an apartment building in Ashkelon on Nov. 13 when it was hit with a rocket.
A Palestinian man visiting the building died in the strike; his wife was seriously injured.
Nearly 500 rockets were fired at southern Israel from Gaza between Nov. 11 and 13. The barrage began after a botched Israeli covert operation carried out in the Khan Yunis area of the southern Gaza Strip left seven Gaza Palestinians and one Israeli soldier dead.
