Militants fire rockets into Israel
21/01/2007 - 10:40:44Islamic Jihad militants launched home-made rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip today in retaliation for Israel's continuing military operations against their group in the West Bank.
The rocket attacks came despite a two-month-old ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza.
The group said it had fired seven home-made rockets toward the Israeli towns of Sderot and Ashkelon.
The Israeli army said several mortar shells had landed in empty areas in Israel this morning, but no-one was hurt.
