The cabinet on Sunday allocated NIS 600 million for the reinforcement of homes in communities near the Gaza Strip border. The funds, intended to protect building in the Qassam-battered towns, will be distributed over the course of three years. Southern Israel was battered by three Qassam rockets fired from Gaza on Sunday afternoon. One of the rockets struck at the entrance to Sderot, and two more fell in open areas in the Shaar Hanegev area. Fortunately, no casualties or damages were reported. 12/07/08
