Palestinians fire rocket from Gaza
 PALESTINIAN militants have fired a rocket from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel, causing damage but no injuries, a military spokesman said.The rocket exploded in the Niram kibbutz near the city of Sderot and damaged several cars, causing two to catch fire, said the spokesman. Palestinian militants have fired 40 rockets and mortar rounds since January 18 when Israel ended its 22-day military Gaza offensive which caused 1330 Palestinian deaths. Israel, which launched its assault on December 27 with the stated aim of stemming rocket attacks, has warned of "the severest riposte" to any further rocket fire. Posted by: tipper 2009-02-08 |
