Migrant workers injured after rocket lands in western Negev moshav(Israeli agricultural community)
A Qassam rocket fired from Gaza on Tuesday struck the home of migrant workers at the entrance to a western Negev moshav.
The incident marks the first time that a Qassam rocket landed inside the community; until now rockets fired toward the area landed in nearby open fields.
A Thai worker was moderately wounded in the attack.
Ofakim police station chief Yossi Farjun told Ynet, “the Qassam entered the structure through the roof; the worker inside was apparently sleeping during the strike.”
A fire broke out in the structure as a result of the attack, but it was quickly extinguished by firefighters dispatched to the scene..

But actually this isn't the first time that migrant workers are under Palestinian attacks. In the last years at least two times areas in Tel Aviv, where many migrants are/were spending their time after work, were attacked by suicide bombers.
Migrant workers in Israel are coming mainly from East Europe(Romania, Bulgaria), from Turkey and from S.E. Asian countries.
Meanwhile since the beginning of the new war in Lebanon ten thousands of migrant workers - mainly from S. and S.E. Asian countries - are in the cross-fire between Hezbullah and the IDF. In contrast to western tourists and visitors in Lebanon, no-one is taking care for migrant workers('cause they're only poor people..) there.
