Middle East: Gaza rocket lands in Israel, cripples fragile ceasefire
Tue. July 01, 2008 05:00 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. -

(SomaliNet) In an incident that puts further strain on a fragile ceasefire brokered by Egypt, a rocket fired from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip landed in southern Israel on Monday.

The makeshift rocket landed near a kibbutz bordering the coastal enclave, causing no damage or injuries, an Israeli police spokesman said.

However, there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the rocket fire, the fourth such attack since the truce went into effect on June 19.

The ceasefire requires militant groups to halt rocket fire in exchange for Israel gradually easing its blockade of the impoverished territory.-Reuters
