Secret tunnels found near Gaza Israel halts Gaza power cuts Six die in Gaza raid

Jerusalem - Palestinian militants fired two rockets into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip on Friday, but they exploded without causing casualties, Israeli military sources said.

One rocket hit the town of Sderot and damaged several parked cars, while the second struck an open field, the sources said.

Sderot is around five kilometres east of the Gaza Strip, from where militants regularly fire rockets and mortar shells into Israel.

The town has borne the brunt of rocket fire from the Palestinian territory, and nine people have been killed in Sderot with hundreds more wounded by the makeshift rockets since 2002.

Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak has said on several occasions recently that a military incursion into Gaza to halt the sporadic rocket fire is only a matter of time.
