Qassam fired from Gaza hits Sderot; man treated for shock
By Mijal Grinberg, Haaretz Correspondent, and Haaret Service

A man from Sdeort was treated for shock Friday morning when Palestinians fired a Qassam rocket that landed near the western Negev town, Israel Radio reported.

Palestinians also fired mortar shells from the Strip, causing no injuries.

Later Friday, another Qassam hit the western Negev, causing no damage or injuries, the radio reported.

Meanwhile, demonstrators holed up in a portable shelter in Sderot on Friday to protest its removal from the town. The Sderot municipality said the shelter was not being removed altogether, but would be replaced with another one.

The Sha'ar Hanegev regional council said this week it would not open the schools in its jurisdiction after the summer unless the buildings were protected or the pupils transferred to Kibbutz Ruhama in the Negev.

On Thursday, two Qassam rockets landed in Sderot, damaging several structures. One rocket landed between two houses, damaging nearby stores. Seven people suffered from shock and five were taken to the hospital.

Two other rockets were fired at the town Thursday evening. One landed near houses, damaging property. Nobody was hurt. A third rocket landed in an open field out of town.
