5 Qassams hit Sderot
Two people lightly wounded by rocket that slams into residential building in Qassam-stricken town, handful of people treated for shock; attack cuts off power supplies to nearby kibbutz

"Five Qassam rockets fired from the Gaza Strip by gunmen landed on Wednesday evening in Sderot, lightly injuring two people and damaging a residential building. A handful of people were treated for shock.

One rocket hit an electric pole cutting power supplies to a nearby kibbutz. The remaining rockets landed in open fields.

The Islamic Jihad terror group claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was in retaliation to Israel's military incursions in the Gaza Strip.

Avi Peretz, whose brother Yaniv sustained shrapnel wounds to the hand when a rocket hit his house, told Ynet: "The house was badly hit. I am ashamed of the prime minister and all the decision-makers."
