Two Qassam rockets landed Friday in and around the western Negev city of Sderot. One rocket struck the fence of a house in the city, leaving three people lightly wounded and causing damage to the house.
A second rocket fell in an open area, causing no injuries or damage.
Six Qassam rockets landed Thursday in the western Negev area. The last of them landed in Sderot, causing damage and cutting out power to the city for several hours. One woman was treated for shock.
Abu Obeidia, a spokesman for Hamas' military wing, said Thursday regarding recent IDF operations in Gaza "in the presence of the ugly crimes committed in the Strip we will strike every area, in the north and in the south. Our response will be strong enough to shake the earth."
