Rockets fired at Israel from Gaza

Six rockets were fired towards Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip overnight, without causing any casualties or damage, a military spokesman said Tuesday.

The home-made rockets were launched from the northern Gaza Strip towards the town of Siderot where an alert system is in place, the spokesman added.

The attack came just hours after three Palestinian militants were killed in an Israeli aircraft strike on their car in the Jabaliya refugee camp of the northern Gaza Strip.

The radical group Islamic Jihad threatened to avenge those deaths.
