JERUSALEM, Nov 17, 2007 (AFP) - Palestinian militants fired two rockets into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip on Friday, but they exploded without causing casualties, Israeli military sources said.

One rocket hit the town of Sderot and damaged several parked cars, while the second struck an open field, the sources said.

Sderot is around five kilometres (three miles) east of the Gaza Strip, from where militants regularly fire rockets and mortar shells into Israel.
