Palestinians in the Gaza Strip retaliated with firing three Qassam rockets Friday evening into the western Negev.
The first rocket landed in a kibbutz residential area, shattering several windows. No injuries were reported.
The second strike caused some damage to a bank building in the center of the western Negev city of Sderot. Two settlers were treated for shock.
The third rocket landed in an open field and caused no damage or injuries.
Early Friday morning, a Qassam rocket landed in an open field in the western Negev causing no injuries.
On Thursday, Palestinians shot six Qassam rockets, two of which landed in the center of Sderot.
The first strike on the city, which occurred in the early evening, shattered some windows on a local structure, and several settlers were treated for shock. Another rocket, fired shortly afterward, also hit an area in the center of town, sending pieces of shrapnel flying into a vehicle. Three settlers were taken to hospital due to ringing in their ears.
Islamic Jihad confirmed firing the rocket in a phone call to The Associated Press in Gaza.
Another Qassam fired earlier in the day hit a house in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanun, wounding five Palestinians. Another rocket landed in a field inside Palestinian territory.
The first errant rocket blew through the quarters` living area and exploded.
Another hit near a western Negev kibbutz, causing no damage or injuries, while the sixth also landed inside Palestinian territory.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. But the resistance group Islamic Jihad fired at least six rockets at "Israel" on Wednesday, saying it was in retaliation to the deaths of two Palestinians in an "Israeli" raid in the West Bank.
