The attack came just a few hours after Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's
meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Jerusalem, during which the two leaders agreed to draft a joint declaration of principles to resolve the core issues of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
Earlier on Tuesday, a Sderot resident was lightly to moderately wounded by shrapnel and several other people suffered shock after a Qassam rocket hit a house in the town.
The rocket landed directly in a bedroom, when all the residents of the home were hiding the bomb shelter. A man standing near the house was injured from shrapnel in his eye and was treated by emergency services.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, Fatah's military wing, claimed responsibility for the attack.
