Palestine: Rockets from Gaza hit southern Israel, no injuries reported

21-03-2013

JERUSALEM, (Xinhua): Rockets fired from the Gaza Strip landed Thursday near a house in Sderot town in southern Israel, causing no injuries, Israeli media reported.

The reports said three rocket alerts were sounded over the town which is located near the border with the Gaza Strip.

The rocket attack is the second of its kind since a truce between Israel and Hamas took effect last November.

The attack happened while U.S. President Barack Obama was making his first official visit to the country.
