AP JERUSALEM - Israel says Palestinian militants have fired a new barrage
of rockets and mortars from Gaza.
No one was injured in Thursday's attack on southern Israel, but it
raises new concerns that an increasingly shaky five-month-old truce
might collapse. The army says five rockets and two mortars were launched. The truce began to unravel last week, after Israeli forces trying to
destroy a militants' tunnel entered Gaza, setting off battles that
killed seven Palestinian gunmen. The fighting unleashed a wave of rocket
attacks from Gaza at Israeli border towns and Israel closed its border
crossings with Gaza in response.
