2 people killed, Israeli soldier injured by rockets fired from Gaza

Two people were killed Tuesday when a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip struck a factory in an Israeli settlement in the western Negev, according to Israel Radio.

It said that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip fired rockets on western Negev settlements this afternoon, killing two workers in a packaging factory, and also fired mortar shells at the Erez border crossing, lightly wounding an Israeli soldier.

Two mortars also fell in the Eshkol Regional Council area in the north-western Negev, causing material damage but no injuries, it said.
