Hamas fires rockets into Israel
The armed wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement has said it has launched a sustained barrage of rockets and mortars into Israel.
This is the first such attack since a true began five months ago.

The group, the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, said the attacks were in revenge for recent killings of Palestinians by Israeli forces.

An Israeli spokesman said only a small number of rockets landed in Israeli. There were no reports of casualties.

The attacks came as Israel celebrated the 59th anniversary of its establishment.

Hamas's military wing said the attacks were a response to the killing of nine Palestinians, five of them believed to be militants, during Israeli military operations in the West Bank.

Israel helicopter gunships fired machine guns near the border fence in southern Gaza soon after the rocket fire, Palestinian witnesses reported.

Hamas, which won a parliamentary elections last year and is the leading faction in the Palestinian Authority, agreed to a ceasefire in November.

But it reserved the right to respond to the killing of Palestinians by Israeli forces.
