GAZA/JERUSALEM (Reuters)
- Israel launched air strikes
across the Gaza Strip on
Friday in response to
Palestinian rockets fired
after Egyptian-mediated
talks failed to extend a 72-
hour truce in the month-
long war.
Egypt later called for a
resumption of the
ceasefire, saying only a
few points remained to be
agreed. Palestinian
factions said they would
meet Egyptian mediators
later in the day, but there
was no sign of any
imminent deal.
There was also no
immediate response from
Israel. However, a
government official said
earlier that Israel would
not negotiate with
Palestinians while
militants continued to
unleash missiles.
As warning sirens sounded
in southern Israel, the
military said Hamas had
fired at least 45 rockets on
Friday morning and
Israel's "Iron Dome"
interceptor system had
brought down two.
By resuming its attacks,
Hamas appeared to be
trying to put pressure on
Israel, making clear it was
ready to fight on to end a
blockade of Gaza that both
Israel and neighbouring
Egypt have imposed on
the impoverished enclave.
In the first casualties since
hostilities resumed on
Friday, Palestinian medical
officials said a 10-year-old
boy was killed in an Israeli
strike near a mosque in
Gaza City. An Islamic Jihad
militant was killed in a
later hit, local officials said.
In Israel, police said two
people were injured by
mortar fire from Gaza.
After a huge explosion in
Gaza City, apparently from
an air raid, a military
spokesman said Israel had
responded to Hamas
rocket fire by launching air
strikes at "terror sites"
across the Gaza Strip.
"We will continue to strike
Hamas, its infrastructure,
its operatives, and restore
security for the State of
Israel," Lieutenant-Colonel
Peter Lerner said in a
statement.
Heavy civilian casualties
and destruction during
Israel's campaign against
militants in packed
residential areas of the
Gaza Strip have raised
international alarm over
the past month, but
efforts to prolong a
ceasefire at talks in Cairo
failed.
