Gaza clashes as ceasefire claim crumbles
  • 10 years ago
Israel has reported fresh rocket attacks from Gaza and confirmed it has attacked sites within the occupied strip, as a claim by a Palestinian armed group of a deal to end the clashes apparently crumbled. At least four rockets were reported by the Israeli military late on Thursday, hours after Israel said it carried out seven airstrikes inside Gaza near the Rafah area. That violence came after the Islamic Jihad movement, which has lobbed dozens of rockets into Israel in recent days, told Al Jazeera that it would abide by the terms of a ceasefire brokered by Egypt in 2012 from 12:00 GMT. Al Jazeera's Kimberly Hallket reports from Jerusalem.
