Qassam hits western Negev in new Gaza truce violation
By Haaretz Service and The Associated Press
Tags: Hamas, Israel, Gaza, Qassam

Gaza militants on Saturday fired a rocket into Israel in new violation of a fragile cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in the coastal Strip.

The rocket struck an open area in the Sha'ar Hanegev regional council, in the western Negev, according to Israel Radio. There were no reports of casualties.

There also was no claim of responsibility.

The truce between Gaza's Hamas rulers and Israel took effect June 19.

Hamas officials say they're trying to enforce the truce, and it appears smaller opposition groups are mainly involved in truce violations.

On Thursday, Hamas arrested three Palestinians who fired rockets into Israel from Gaza Strip earlier in the day, a militant faction said, in the first such detentions since the Islamist group and Israel agreed on the truce last month.
