Gaza Rocket Hits Israel
A rocket fired from Gaza hit southern Israel Tuesday, causing no casualties, a police spokesman said, as a first full day of resumed Middle East peace talks was to open.
"A rocket was fired from Gaza and exploded in a field in Israeli territory without causing any damage or casualties," Micky Rosenfeld told Agence France Presse.
On Wednesday, two rockets fired from the Gaza Strip hit southern Israel but caused no damage or casualties.
A lone rocket hit the same area on Sunday, and two hit southern Israel last Thursday, none causing any damage or casualties.
The last incident of cross-border fire between Israel and the Islamist Hamas-ruled Gaza was on June 24, when the radical Islamic Jihad group fired five rockets at Israel, which retaliated with air strikes.
As the ruling authority in Gaza, Hamas is responsible for ensuring that militant groups respect the terms of a truce brokered by Egypt that ended a major eight-day confrontation with Israel in November.
