IDF strikes in Gaza in response to rocket attacks

The IDF is striking several targets in the northern Gaza Strip and Gaza City, in response to five rockets launched from Gaza at Israel earlier.

The rockets and the Israeli response come despite a reported agreement by both sides to extend a truce which began on Monday — and which was set to end 50 minutes ago — by another five days.

Hamas said earlier it was not responsible for the rockets, though Israel views the group as responsible for any attacks emanating from the territory.
