Netanyahu skips AIPAC after Gaza rocket hits Israeli home, injuring 7

Published March 25, 2019 3:14pm ET



Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday cut short his trip to Washington, D.C. after a rocket from the Gaza Strip struck a home in Israel.

Netanyahu, who was due to speak at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference, is traveling home earlier than expected Monday after the rocket attack wounded seven people. It’s the furthest a rocket has reached into Israel from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, likely leading to defensive measures in the coming days by Israeli forces.
