Gaza militants target Israel after 12 hours of truce: army

JERUSALEM - Gaza Strip militants fired rockets or mortar rounds into Israel 12 hours after Saturday's start of a temporary truce Israel agreed to extend for another four hours, the army said.

"Rockets have just been fired at Israel despite the humanitarian truce being extended," army spokeswoman Avital Leibovich wrote on Twitter around 1700 GMT, the time the original truce had been due to end.

Another military spokesman told AFP three mortar rounds had been fired, causing neither casualties nor damage.
