      Palestinian terrorists fired a volley of Kassam rockets at Sderot and environs Sunday afternoon, sending 6 people into shock and damaging a house and another building.  Another 7 hit the area Monday morning.

      A total of nine Kassams hit the northern Negev on Sunday, including six in the afternoon bombardment, which began at 1:45 PM.  One rocket hit a supermarket in Sderot, causing no physical injuries but sending six people to be treated in a nearby emergency health center for shock.

      Another rocket hit a house, damaging a wall and a bedroom, and sending one person to be treated for shock.  A resident of the apartment took cover in the sheltered room when the Color Red alert went off, thus saving his life.  

      A third Kassam rocket smashed into the town's cemetery, causing damage to eight gravestones.  No one was hurt.

      Terrorists in Gaza fired another nine rockets early Monday, causing light injuries to four people and damaging at least one building.  One rocket landed near a school.

      Ex-Public Security Minister Dr. Uzi Landau called on the public to continue to visit Sderot and support its shopkeepers and businesses.  Landau heads the Eretz Nehederet association, which organizes weekly shopping trips to Sderot from around the country.
