JERUSALEM (AP) – A Palestinian rocket landed near a swimming pool in the southern Israeli town of Sderot early Sunday, killing a 36-year-old man, Israeli media said.

Eli Bin, director general of the Israeli rescue service, said the man was wounded in the neck by shrapnel. Israeli media reported the man died of his wounds. Hospital officials declined comment.

The militants fired two other rockets earlier Sunday, damaging a home in Sderot but causing no other injuries.

The rocket fire followed three overnight Israeli strikes against Hamas targets in Gaza. No one was injured in the airstrikes, but the ongoing violence signaled no slowdown in more than a week of fighting.

Israel has launched dozens of targeted missile strikes over the past 10 days that have killed 48 Palestinians and damaged many Hamas installations in an attempt to stop Hamas rocket fire from Gaza at Israeli border towns.

The army said Sunday that Palestinians have fired nearly 250 rockets into Israel since May 15, killing one woman and sending thousands of frightened Israeli residents fleeing.
