Also Friday, seven Qassam rockets struck the western Negev. No injuries were caused, but one rocket struck a textile factory in Sderot, causing a fire. In the northern Gaza Strip earlier Friday, IDF infantry troops clashed with armed gunmen, killing two of them. Two IDF soldiers were hurt in the incident, and were taken to Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva for treatment. In a separate incident, troops clashed with Palestinian militants near the southern Gaza town of Khan Yunis, killing a member of Islamic Jihad. None of the soldiers were wounded in that incident.
