A rocket fired from Gaza hit southern Israel Tuesday, causing no casualties, a police spokesman said, as a first full day of resumed Middle East peace talks was to open.<\/p>\n
“A rocket was fired from Gaza and exploded in a field in Israeli territory without causing any damage or casualties,” Micky Rosenfeld told Agence France Presse.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, two rockets fired from the Gaza Strip hit southern Israel but caused no damage or casualties.<\/p>\n
A lone rocket hit the same area on Sunday, and two hit southern Israel last Thursday, none causing any damage or casualties.<\/p>\n
The last incident of cross-border fire between Israel and the Islamist Hamas-ruled Gaza was on June 24, when the radical Islamic Jihad group fired five rockets at Israel, which retaliated with air strikes.<\/p>\n
As the ruling authority in Gaza, Hamas is responsible for ensuring that militant groups respect the terms of a truce brokered by Egypt that ended a major eight-day confrontation with Israel in November.<\/p>\n
