Palestinian rocket wounds one in Israeli town

JERUSALEM, Nov 19 (Reuters) - A rocket fired by Palestinian militants from Gaza wounded one person in the southern Israeli town of Sderot on Sunday, rescue officials said.

They said the wounded person had been taken to hospital. The rocket landed in the centre of the border town, a frequent target for gunmen in the Gaza Strip.

Rockets fired from Gaza killed a woman and wounded several other residents in Sderot last Wednesday.

Right-wing politicians have called on the government to order a stepped up offensive in Gaza in response to the upsurge in launchings of homemade missiles.

But Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the rocket fire could not be stopped in "one fell swoop", appearing to rule out a massive military push into the strip.
