A Palestinian gunman was killed and four were wounded on Saturday night when they were shot by IDF troops in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinians reported. The army said that soldiers shot two armed Palestinians who had approached the security fence. Earlier Saturday, several people were suffering from shock after Palestinian terrorists in northern Gaza fired eight Kassam rockets toward Sderot. Two of the rockets landed inside the western Negev town, one landing in street and severely damaging a car. The other rockets landed outside the town.
On Friday, a 17-year-old boy was lightly wounded when one of six rockets fired into Israel from Gaza hit a Sderot home. Several others were treated for shock and the boy was evacuated to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon. Magen David Adom medics treated the other victims at the scene. The house sustained heavy damage in a barrage during which three other rockets landed in open areas in the western Negev town. Earlier Friday, two rockets were fired into the town causing no casualties or damage.
In addition, Palestinians fired eight mortar shells into the Gaza periphery town of Netiv Hashayara on Friday afternoon. Most of the shells landed in open areas. No casualties or damage were reported.
