Gaza militants on Monday fired nine rockets at southern Israel, one of which exploded next to a house, police said, shattering an overnight calm even as Cairo sought to broker an end to 24 hours of bloodshed.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said nine rockets had hit Israel, all of them fired after 1100 IST.
‘Seven were fired at the Negev (desert) region and two towards the Ashkelon (coastal) area,’ he told AFP, adding that one had landed in the yard of a house in Netivot. Medical sources said 26 people had been treated for shock in the town.
The latest rocket attacks put an end to what had been a quiet night on the Israeli side of the border, with the army saying there had been no launchings since last night.
