Witnesses say thousands of Gazans fleeing border area

Thousands of Palestinians are fleeing their homes east of Gaza City on Friday in fear of Israeli attacks, after a 72-hour truce ended, an AFP correspondent and witnesses said.

Palestinian factions in Gaza refused to extend the ceasefire with Israel, which expired at 05:00 GMT (8 a.m. local time), and Palestinian groups in the enclave renewed rocket fire at the Jewish state which so far has not returned fire at Gaza, the correspondent and Israeli army said.
