Israel Hits Gaza tunnels
Thursday, February 26, 2009 at 9:37 pm
GAZA CITY: Israeli air strikes hit smuggling tunnels between Hamas-run Gaza and Egypt on Thursday after militants in the enclave fired two rockets into the Jewish state, the army and witnesses said.
The afternoon strikes did not result in any casualties, witnesses said.
They came after two rockets fired from Gaza struck inside Israel without causing casualties, the army said.
The incidents marked the latest violence to rock tenuous ceasefires that Israel and Hamas announced on January 18, ending a 22-day war in the coastal strip that killed more than 1,300 Palestinians and 13 Israelis.
Egypt has been mediating in a bid to broker a lasting truce around the impoverished coastal strip, where the Islamists seized control in June 2007, ousting forces loyal to secular president Mahmud Abbas.
