del.icio.us Digg It!  new Last update - 21:27 26/12/2007 Ten Qassams strike western Negev; woman treated for shock By Mijal Grinberg and Yuval Azoulay, Haaretz Correspondents Tags: Sderot, Israel, Qassams, Gaza Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday fired ten Qassam rockets at the western Negev. There were no injuries reported in the incident, apart from a woman in Sderot who was treated for shock. One rocket hit near the Sha'ar Hanegev regional council and another fired earlier Wednesday failed to reach Israel. On Tuesday, three Qassam rockets were fired at the Negev region. The rockets struck the Erez crossing to Gaza, and the Negev kibbutzes of Kfar Aza and Zikim, but did not cause any injuries or damage. Advertisement In response, an Israel Air Force helicopter struck a Qassam rocket launcher in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, 15 minutes after the rocket was fired at Zikim. Militants on Tuesday also fired three mortar shells at Israel, which struck near the security fence along the northern Gaza Strip. The security cabinet approved Sunday funding for the development of the "Iron Dome" rocket defense system, which is designed to intercept short- and medium-range rockets such as Qassams and Katyushas.
