The United Nations's humanitarian chief toured the Qassam-battered western Negev town of Sderot on Sunday, condemning the rocket fire and urging Gaza's Hamas rulers to end the attacks.
"We condemn absolutely the firing of these rockets. There's no justification for it. They are indiscriminate, there's no military target," John Holmes, the UN undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs, told The Associated Press after the tour.
Also on Sunday, a Qassam rocket struck near the playground of a Sderot school. There were no injuries, but several people were treated for shock.

During his tour of Sderot, Holmes visited a school, a lookout point onto Gaza and met with trauma victims.
Holmes nodded quietly as residents, some in tears, told their personal stories of anguish. A local man lifted his shirt and showed Holmes a shrapnel wound on his belly as a woman told him how she had lost a fetus after going into shock when a Qassam rocket landed near her. The woman added that a teenage daughter of hers had attempted to cut her wrists after one rocket attack.
Holmes said he felt incredibly sorry for the people of Sderot, noting the traumatic psychological effects the attacks have had on children.
"We just need to keep on saying to the people in Gaza, to the Hamas leadership, they have to stop these rockets. They do no good. They cause suffering," he said.
Holmes, however, said the only way to solve the problem is through a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians....
And which side has failed to keep one of their promises, even 1?
