Gaza militants break 'ceasefire' with rockets

Palestinian militants in Gaza fired three rockets at Israel early today, despite reports that they had agreed to halt such attacks.

Palestinian officials said that the main militant groups; Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades; reached an agreement to stop firing rockets if Israel calls off the Gaza offensive it launched last month after Hamas-linked militants captured a soldier in a raid on an Israeli military post.
