Rockets fired from Gaza kill 2 Israelis

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Two rockets fired from Gaza into the Israeli town of
Sderot landed near a kindergarten, killing two people and injuring
several others Monday morning, according to an Israeli Emergency
Services official.
Hamas immediately claimed responsibility for the rocket attack in a
leaflet delivered to CNN.
Israeli officials said a 3-year-old child and a 50-year-old man died.
The dead child's mother was said to be seriously wounded.
Several other people were also wounded, police said.
The Qassam rockets are Palestinian-built missiles that have now been
deployed in the territories.
On Sunday, an explosion in a tunnel next to an Israeli military post
near the entrance to the Gush Katif settlement block in Gaza wounded
five Israelis, Israeli emergency services officials and military sources
said.
Israeli emergency services personnel said one wounded Israeli was
trapped at the site and four Israelis were evacuated to a hospital.
Exchanges of gunfire continued during the evacuation.
In a telephone call to CNN, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades took
responsibility for the blast. Another source said Hamas shared
responsibility. A Hamas rally was taking place near Gaza City when the
explosion occurred at 10 p.m. (3 p.m. ET).
Israeli military sources said the tunnel extended from the Palestinian
city of Khan Yunis to the outpost. They said the army moved additional
troops and armor to the area after the attack.
Palestinian witnesses reported a number of Israeli tanks headed toward
Beit Hanoun in Gaza shortly after the blast.
Earlier, a Palestinian source said two Palestinian suicide attackers and
five Israeli soldiers were killed in the explosion, but the Israel
Defense Forces did not confirm that number.
Hours after the tunnel explosion, Israeli missiles destroyed two
workshops in Gaza City that Israelis said Hamas and other militant
groups were using to make weapons, including Qassam rockets.
No injuries were reported in the strikes early Monday. Israelis have hit
several workshops in Gaza City in recent weeks.
The IDF said the Ashraf Lu-lu weapons workshop, in the Zeitoun
neighborhood, specialized in rebuilding weapons but also produced them.
The Shaaban weapons workshop, in the Eskola district, also produced
weaponry, the IDF said.
In a separate incident, a Palestinian policeman and a Palestinian youth
were killed and four Palestinians were wounded by Israeli tank fire in
Khan Yunis, according to Palestinian security sources.
Al Aqsa Military Brigades, a military offshoot of Yasser Arafat's Fatah
movement, has attacked military and civilian targets in Israel and in
Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza.
Hamas is a Palestinian Islamic fundamentalist organization whose
military wing has admitted responsibility for terrorist attacks against
Israeli civilians and attacks against the Israeli military.
Both groups are considered terrorist organizations by Israel and the
United States
