Qassam rockets are fired into Israel by Palestinian militants in Gaza on a daily basis.
They rarely cause death or serious injury, but do cause fear and panic. In all, nine Israelis have been killed by Qassam rockets since the first fatality in June 2004. Two of these were Israeli-Arab Bedouin.
Israel cites the threat from Qassam rockets as the main reason for its military operations in the Gaza Strip.
Almost 400 Palestinians, many of them civilians, have died in these operations since late June 2006.
