JERUSALEM (AL-QUDS) - Palestinian militants in Gaza have fired five rockets towards "Israel".
An army spokeswoman said there had been two confirmed hits inside "Israel" -- one in the port city of Ashkelon which caused no damage, and one in the town of Sderot which damaged several vehicles.
In Gaza City, the ultra-radical Islamic Jihad militant group said it had fired one rocket into Sderot and another into Ashkelon.
Under a ceasefire agreed by "Israel" and militants on November 26, the Zionist state withdrew its forces from Gaza and militants were supposed to stop firing rockets.
Since then one Palestinian has been killed and at least three wounded by "Israeli" fire in Gaza and retaliations with more than 50 rockets have been fired into "Israel", but the truce has generally held amid hopes that it can help restart the dormant peace process.
In the past week, several "Israeli" ministers have called for the army to respond to the rocket fire.
