A Sderot resident standing in her home after it was hit by a Qassam rocket fired by Gaza militants Thursday. (AP) Last update - 19:50 06/03/2008 Four wounded as Qassam rocket hits Sderot home By Mijal Grinberg, Haaretz Correspondent and The Associated Press Tags: Qassam rockets, Gaza Strip  A Sderot man was lightly to moderately wounded and three others lightly hurt Thursday evening when a Qassam rocket fired from the Gaza Strip struck a home in the western Negev town.

Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip on Thursday fired a total of at least eight Qassam rockets and four mortar shells at the western Negev. One Qassam struck open fields near the city of Sderot and one of the shell hit an agricultural field in Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha, the site where an Ecuadorian volunteer was killed about two months ago. There were no injuries or damages reported in any of the previous incidents. Workers at Ein Hashlosha left their fields at the time of the attack. Also on Thursday, Hamas Radio reported that its militants opened fire on an Israel Air Force planes. No comment was available from the Israel Defense Forces.
