OCCUPIED 'JERUSALEM' (AL-QUDS): The Gaza Strip retaliated with firing a rocket hitting an 'Israeli' settler on Monday, hours after 'Israeli' Premier Ehud Olmert set conditions for a truce with Palestinian militants in the Strip. The projectile slammed into an accommodation unit in a small occupation settlement near the Gaza border, killing one settler, an 'Israeli' military spokeswoman said.
The spokeswoman had earlier said that a second settler was also wounded, but later corrected the statement and said no one else was hurt.
The attack was claimed by Islamic Jihad, which has refused to sign an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire proposal but also vowed not to violate its terms.
Islamic Jihad militants earlier fired two long-range rockets at the seaside 'Israeli' occupation settlement of Ashkelon. No casualties were reported from the attack.
