'Massive' Cross-Border Rocket Barrage Fired From Gaza Strip by Palestinian Militants
JERUSALEM Hamas militants pounded southern Israel with a barrage of rockets Wednesday, hours after Israeli forces killed six gunmen in a fresh bout of violence that threatened to unravel a five-month-old truce that has brought relief to both Gaza and southern Israel.
The clashes began late Tuesday after the Israeli forces burst into Gaza to destroy what the army said was a tunnel being dug near the border to abduct Israeli troops.
Despite the outbreak of violence, both Israeli authorities and officials with Gaza's Hamas government said they wanted to restore the calm that has largely prevailed over the past five months.
After the Israeli incursion, Hamas gunmen battled Israeli forces and Gaza residents reported the sound of explosions, gunshots and helicopter fire. One Hamas fighter was killed, prompting a wave of mortar fire at nearby Israeli targets.
