By Mijal Grinberg, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Gaza Strip, Sderot, Israel 

Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired at least seven Qassam rockets into the western Negev Monday morning.

One person suffered from shock as a rocket struck the Sha'ar Hanegev industrial zone, and later sustained minor injuries as he fled the scene.

Another man suffered light shrapnel wounds in a separate strike.

Several more people were treated for shock following the barrage.

Two rockets in all hit the industrial zone causing damage to a water pipe.

Three additional rockets hit open areas in the Sha'ar Hanegev regional council and one struck near the western Negev town of Sderot. No injuries or damage were reported.

Several people were treated for shock Sunday after a salvo of Qassam rockets hit Sderot. The rockets damaged one house, a store and gravestones at the local cemetery.
