....Kassam and Katyusha rockets continued to rain down on the western Negev Sunday evening, with two rockets slamming into two houses in Ashkelon and Sderot.

A woman was lightly wounded in Ashkelon. The mother had been hiding with her two children at the time of the attack.

The second home to be hit was in Sderot. There were no reports of casualties save for a woman who suffered from shock. Shortly afterwards, a rocket launched at Sderot hit an electric pole causing a power cut in the area.

Two other Katyusha rockets landed in the city, while three Kassam rockets hit open areas in the Negev. A fourth rocket struck near a public swimming pool in a Kibbutz.

Some 35 rockets have struck the region since Sunday morning, this despite the ongoing IDF operations against Gaza terror cells.

Earlier, two people were lightly wounded when a Kassam hit a kibbutz home in the Sha'ar Hanegev region. The house sustained severe damage....
