Qassam rockets fired from the Gaza Strip struck a house and an area beside a school in the Negev town of Sderot Tuesday morning, hours after an Israel Air Force missile strike in the northern Gaza Strip killed two Palestinians involved in rocket fire.

One woman was lightly wounded by shrapnel by the rocket that struck near the school, and a woman in the house suffered from shock, rescue workers said.

A total of four rockets were fired at the western Negev early Monday. Two landed outside the town, causing neither injury nor damage.

The IAF strike on a car in northern Gaza on Monday evening killed Imad Asaliyah and Majdi Hamad, senior members of the Popular Resistance Committees, a group which is invovled in Qassam rocket attacks on Israel and refused to join the relative truce declared by Hamas and other groups.
