Gaza militants launch more rockets into Israel
Barrages of rockets fired from Gaza hit Israeli towns Sunday and the Israeli air force responded with a missile strike as violence surged after the expiration of a shaky truce.
One rocket struck a house in the town of Sderot, but no injuries were reported. The blast scattered rubble and furniture inside the house.
"Everyone is traumatized," the house's owner, Maya Aviar, told AP Television News.
A worker at a farming community near Gaza was lightly wounded by shrapnel in a separate rocket strike, the Israeli military said.
Another rocket landed in an industrial zone in Ashkelon, a city of about 120,000 people 10 miles north of Gaza.
Ashkelon is the biggest population center in range of the rockets from Gaza, and Israel has responded harshly to past attacks on the coastal city.
The Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad took responsibility for Sunday's rocket fire.
Not responding is NOT a sign of strength or of resolve. I do have other sincere adjectives to describe Olmert and his buddies though.
