A Qassam rocket fired from the Gaza Strip on Wednesday directly struck a home in the southern town of Sderot. The house was empty at the time of the strike and no one was hurt, but the house sustained damage.

Two Qassam rockets were fired at the Western Negev Wednesday. On Tuesday, one rocket and ten mortar shells struck open fields in communities bordering Gaza, causing no injuries or damage.

Israel Defense Forces troops carried out two operations in Gaza before dawn Wednesday, wounding seven Palestinian militants. An IDF patrol battalion operated in the northern Gaza Strip, injuring several militants.

One IDF soldier was moderately injured in the exchange of fire.

Also on Wednesday, an armored corps battalion spread throughout the northern Negev and struck a terrorist cell that was preparing to launch anti-tank missiles in the soldiers' direction. No injuries were reported in the incident.

Yuval Azoulay and Avi Issacharoff contributed to this report.
