almost a week of truce after Palestinian fighters launched rockets
into Israel and Israel attacked "terror sites" inside the enclave.
The Israeli military launched attacks on at least 10 sites in Gaza on
Tuesday, killing at least three people, and recalled its team working
on a permanent ceasefire with Palestinians after three rockets landed
in Israel.
"In response to Hamas's violation of the truce, the prime minister and
defence minister have ordered the IDF [Israeli army] to once more
attack terror sites in the Gaza Strip," a government official said.
The Gaza health ministry reported that a young child and a woman were
killed and 16 injured in air raid in Sheikh Radwan district of Gaza
City. An attack on the airport area near Rafah had injured two
children.
The Qassam Brigades, Hamas's armed wing, later said on Twitter that it
had fired rockets towards Tel Aviv - confirmation that Hamas was
involved in the latest violence. No one was injured in the attack on
Tel Aviv, the Israeli army said.
The violence apparently spells the end of efforts in Cairo to secure a
permanent ceasefire to end the war in Gaza, in which more than 2,000
people have died. Most of the dead were Gazan civilians.
The Palestinian rocket fire broke a temporary truce valid until
midnight local time (9pm GMT on Tuesday).
