Five Qassam rockets strike back Negev on third day

Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired four Qassam rockets at the western Negev early Friday. There were no injuries or damages reported in either incident.
This was the third consecutive day of rocket fire, which began in response to a mid-week "Israeli" Forces raid on the coastal territory that killed six Palestinian militants.
Militants fired four Qassams at southern "Israel" on Thursday as well.
The renewed hostilities represent the worst fighting between the "Israeli" Army and Gaza militants since a truce began in June.
Late Wednesday, an "Israel" Air Force strike targeting a Qassam firing squad in the northern Gaza Strip killed at least one Palestinian gunman. The Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad identified the casualty as a one of their own.
Jihad militants on Wednesday fired two rockets at the western Negev town of Sderot. One of its leaders, Khader Habib, declared the truce over.
"Israel" and Gaza's Hamas rulers sought to contain the fallout from the fighting, but the continued flaring up of violence threatened to unravel it anew.
Neither side seems to have much to gain from a renewal of hostilities, and officials on both sides said they wanted to restore calm.
Hamas, which agreed to the Egyptian-mediated truce, said "Israel" was breaching it. The group also claimed responsibility for dozens of rockets fired at the western Negev on Wednesday.
