 THE ISRAELI ARMY shelled the Gaza Strip Monday after Palestinians fired a makeshift rocket from the territory on southern Israel, military sources said. The rocket slammed into a house, causing damage but no casualties, the sources said, without specifying the location of the strike. It was the second rocket firing of the day, the sources said. A few hours earlier, another hit hard by the electric fence that marks the border. Palestinian officials said several houses near the Jabaliya refugee camp in the far north of the Gaza Strip were damaged in the retaliatory shelling but there were no reports of casualties. |
