Three people were lightly wounded after being hit by shrapnel after Palestinians fired two Kassam rockets from the Gaza Strip late Sunday morning.

Both rockets landed in Sderot including one that landed in the city’s center. In addition to the wounded, several people who were reported to have suffered from shock. The victims were evacuated to Barzilai Hospuital in Ashkelon.

A residential home that was hit approximately a month ago sustained damages in the attack.

Sunday’s strike comes less than a week after the western Negev experienced a similar attack during which three people were lightly wounded when nine rockets were fired into the area.

Five rockets landed within the Sderot city limits. Two homes and a synagogue in Sderot sustained damage, Israel Radio reported. Two more rockets fell near Kibbutz Nir Am, one south of Ashkelon and one landed in another western Negev location.
