The Israeli man died after shrapnel hit him in the neck in the town of Sderot. Hamas militants said they had carried out the rocket attack. About 40 people have been killed in Gaza in 12 days of Israeli air strikes designed to stop the rocketing.

One other Israeli civilian has been killed and 16 wounded by rockets fired on Israeli towns, particularly Sderot, in recent days. According to the Israeli army, more than 230 rockets have been fired from Gaza since mid-May.

Mr Olmert’s spokeswoman said that Israel would not only target those directly involved in the rocket attacks. "If somebody in the hierarchy is involved in terrorism, they should not feel safe," said Miri Eisin.

breast cancer cellsScientists have identified four more Genes that increase breast cancer risk. Cancer Research UK scientists led an international team of experts in the world’s first large-scale "whole genome search" for breast cancer genes. They sifted through the DNA of nearly 50,000 women, half of them breast cancer patients and half healthy.
 
It is hoped their discovery, published in Nature journal, will lead to more genes being identified, and better testing to identify women most at risk. By studying the genetic material researchers found five culprit DNA regions housing new four genes, FGFR2, TNRC9, MAP3K1 and LSP1.
 
Professor Douglas Easton, director of Cancer Research UK’s genetic epidemiology unit in Cambridge, said: "Now we know these search methods are effective, we think that many more breast cancer genes can be found. "These methods are already being applied by Cancer Research UK to find genes for a whole range of other cancers, including prostate, bowel and lung cancer."
 
Overall, inherited cases make up between 5 and 10% of all breast cancer cases in the UK which total 44,000 a year. " factors" such as smoking and environmental factors are believed to account for the rest.
