Sderot municipality to shut down schools after Qassam attacks By Nir Hasson, Haaretz Correspondent, Haaretz Service and The Associated Press
The Sderot municipality and the Sha'ar Hanegev regional council announced Saturday night its plans to suspend school on Sunday due to the deteriorating security situation. In addition, the city-run market will not be operating in its regular capacity.
In an official statement, the municipality said the closures are the result of the security assessments that were passed onto Sderot mayor Eli Moyal during a meeting with heads of the defense establishment. Municipality heads will reconvene on Sunday to decide on further steps.
Three Qassam rockets landed in Sderot on Saturday afternoon, injuring four people.
The casualties in the Qassam attack on Sderot were civil guard volunteers who were hurt by shrapnel, Israel Radio reported. One of them was moderately wounded, the others lightly. They were taken for treatment to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon.
One Qassam fell next to a sports hall in the center of town. Others fell on a school, a factory and a residential building, none of which caused any injuries.

Sharon is applauded worldwide for surrendering while Israeli towns shut their schools for fear of rocket attacks.
Don't worry, there is a ceasefire in effect, remember?
Isreal can't retaliate, because it would break the ceasefire. . .
