"I was home with my children who were sleeping when we heard a missile that shook our home, so me and my children ran outside. When we arrive here we found this place, hit by an F-16, and we found a man under the sand with his son over there."
A rocket was launched from Gaza on Saturday which wounded an Israeli woman.
No Palestinian armed factions have claimed responsibility for that attack.
