From Ynet News, 27/5/07, by Yael Branovsky...
A man was killed Sunday morning in the southern town of Sderot after a rocket landed near the car he was sitting in.
The man, 36, crashed into the wall with his car after it was hit. He managed to get out of the vehicle and take a number of steps before collapsing. He was evacuated to the Barzilay Medical Center in Ashkelon, where he died of his wounds.
Another resident was lightly hurt and several others suffered from shock. An additional Qassam exploded near Sderot.
Last week, another woman was killed in Sderot after being hit by a rocket near the town's commercial center.
...Children waiting for buses to take them to distant schools panicked upon hearing the alert system and the explosions which followed.
The Color Red rocket alert system was activated in Sderot just before 7 am on Sunday, followed by explosion sounds. Sappers and firefighters found the remnants of a Qassam rocket between a community center and an apartment building.
The new community center suffered slight damage following the explosion. The Sderot Municipality reported that the incident caused a lot of panic in the neighborhood and that only a miracle prevented injuries.
The rocket barrages did not stop over the weekend. On Saturday evening, five Qassams landed across the western Negev, one of them completely destroying an apartment.
Meanwhile, the IDF continued its airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, bombing another two posts belonging to Hamas' special force, on the Gaza City neighborhood of Sheikh Raduan and the other in the Jabalya refugee camp.
Ten posts of the special force were destroyed in one day, and have in fact become Hamas' weak point in the current conflict....
