Six hurt in latest rocket barrage on Sderot

Ha'aretz:

Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday evening fired eight Qassam rockets at the southern town of Sderot, one of which directly struck a home in the city leaving six people lightly wounded.

According to the city's senior security officer, most of the rockets hit open fields around the city, but the barrage caused a power outage in one of the city's neighborhoods.

The rockets were fired at Sderot precisely during the time that President Shimon Peres was meant to be visiting the area.
