Rockets Hit Israel, Which Says Truce Broken

From Yahoo News:

JERUSALEM - Police say two Palestinian rockets hit southern Israel and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office says the cease-fire that took effect last week has been broken.

A small Palestinian militant group in the Gaza Strip says it carried out the attack to avenge an Israeli military raid that killed one of its members in the West Bank early Tuesday.

The West Bank is not formally part of the truce. But Islamic Jihad says it "cannot keep its hands tied" when its "brothers" in the West Bank are being targeted.
