One person lightly wounded as Qassam rocket hits Sderot house

By Mijal Grinberg, Haaretz Correspondent

A Sderot man was lightly wounded Monday, when a Qassam rocket fired by Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip hit his house in the western Negev town.

The Qassam struck as the wounded man and his family were in the reinforced area of their home designed to shield them from such an attack. His wife and three children were treated for shock.

Two additional rockets were fired at the western Negev on Monday, one striking near a local kibbutz's security fence, and the other causing a fire near Route 34.

On Thursday, five Qassam rockets and several mortar shells were fired at the western Negev, causing no injuries.

Israel Defense Forces soldier Arbel Reich, 21, was killed in fighting in the Gaza Strip on Thursday. He was the first IDF fatality in the Strip this year.

Later Thursday, troops killed an armed Palestinian who had opened fire at soldiers manning a West Bank checkpoint.
