| Description | The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas says it has carried out its first rocket attack on Israel since it ended a 16-month truce.
The group's military wing, Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, said on Saturday it had fired seven rockets, including one at the southern Israeli town of Ashkelon.
Hamas said it carried out the attack in response to Friday's Israeli artillery fire and other raids which killed 10 Palestinians, including women and children on a beach outing.
An Israeli military spokesman confirmed six rockets were fired on Saturday, of which one reached Israeli territory without causing damage or injury.
Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, confirmed the group would renew its attacks.
"I believe that amid the continued bloodshed of our people and the horrific images of massacres, there is no place for silence." |
