Rockets fired from Gaza hit southern Israel

   Earlier today, two rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel.  Both landed in the town of Sderot, with one touching down in an open field, and the other exploding in a citizen's back yard.  They caused minor damages, but no injuries have been reported.
   As of yet, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, which coincides with President Obama's visit to the country.  This is only the second attack since the confrontation between Israel and Hamas last November (and subsequent ceasefire).
   The other attack occurred on February 26th, when a single rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip to protest the death of a Palestinian prisoner in Israeli custody.  The rocket landed outside the coastal town of Ashkelon, causing no injuries.
