Qassam rocket hits Ashkelon area after 10 day lull
By Haaretz Service
Tags: Israel news, Hamas, Qassam 

A Qassam rocket fired from the Gaza Strip hit the Ashkelon area Tuesday afternoon, after ten days of quiet.

No injuries or damage were reported.

The last rockets to explode inside Israel hit the western Negev on March 14. No one was injured in the strike.

The Qassam fire continued this month even though Hamas, the Islamist group that rules the Gaza Strip, recently condemned the Qassam fire from the Strip, saying that though it has fired thousands of rockets in the past, it was not behind recent attacks, and that the group was actively investigating who was responsible.
