Palestinian rockets hit Israeli town - report
Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired several makeshift rockets at an Israeli border town on Tuesday, damaging an apartment building but causing no serious casualties, Israel Radio reported. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack on Sderot. Gaza's armed factions have largely abided by a truce declared by Palestinian President President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon earlier this year. Past cross-border rocket strikes that caused bloodshed often prompted Israeli military sweeps of occupied Gaza, which Israel plans to quit in mid-August under a plan by Sharon to "disengage" from 4 1/2 years of conflict with the Palestinians. Israeli officials have vowed not to withdraw soldiers and settlers under fire. |
