Four Qassams strike western Negev, causing damages but no injuries
By Haaretz Service
Tags: Sderot, Israel, Negev 

Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip on Sunday fired three Qassam rockets at southern Israel.

Two of the rockets struck the western Negev town of Sderot.

One exploded in the yard of a home, causing damage to the building.

A second rocket exploded in an open field in the city.

No injuries were reported in either incident.

Earlier Thursday, a rocket exploded in Kibbutz Zikim, south of Ashkelon. No damages or injuries were reported.

Israel is waiting for the results of talks between Hamas and other militant Palestinian groups in Cairo this Wednesday before it takes a position on an Egyptian-mediated cease-fire in the Gaza Strip.

Security officials have said that if Hamas cannot restrain the smaller groups, first and foremost Islamic Jihad, there will not be much point to the agreement.

Without completely restraining the smaller groups, the firing of Qassam rockets from the Strip will soon resume, they say, as has happened in the past.
