Gaza rocket hits Israel, despite Hamas moratorium on Qassams
By Haaretz Service
Tags: Israel news 

Militants in the Gaza Strip fired a Qassam rocket into southern Israel on Monday, despite a recent declaration by Hamas that militant groups in the coastal territory had reached an agreement to halt cross-border rocket fire.

The rocket exploded close to a community in the Sha'ar Hanegev region, causing neither causalities nor property damage.

On Saturday evening, Hamas' interior minister said the militant groups in Gaza had agreed to cease firing rockets into Israel so as to prevent retaliatory attacks.

"We have agreed with the factions that nobody carries out any action involving rockets for now," Fathi Hammad was quoted as saying by the Chinese news agency Xinhua.

But if Israel sent troops to the Hamas-controlled territory, then the militants would have "an open space to respond," Hammad added during a meeting with Gaza journalists, according to the news agency
