Special Report: Palestine-Israel Conflicts         

    GAZA, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- The pro-Iran Brigades of Hezbollah in Palestine claimed responsibility on Thursday for firing two makeshift rockets from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel.

    The group, which does not abide by a fragile truce announced by both Israel and Gaza militants, said the rockets attacks "are a response to the Israeli violations in Jerusalem and al-Aqsa Mosque," giving no details.

    Israeli Radio Arabic service reported that two makeshift rockets landed near the southern Israeli towns of Sderot and Sha'ar Hanegev, causing no injuries or damages.

    The Radio said the two rockets were fired at southern Israel on Thursday morning, adding that medical services and ambulances rushed to the area and treated one Israeli woman of a shock.

    The rockets attacks came as rival Fatah and Hamas movements are holding reconciliation talks in Cairo aiming at forming a national unity government and ending feud between them.

    On Wednesday, Israeli F-16 warplanes launched three separate airstrikes on the border route between southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah and Egypt.

    No injuries were reported, and several tunnels, used by Palestinians for smuggling goods into Gaza, were damages.

    In reaction to ongoing rockets attacks from Gaza at Israel, the Israeli army carried out a three-week air, sea and ground offensive on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip which ended on Jan. 18. More than 1,300 Palestinians were killed and 5,500 others injured.

    Israel still keeps a tight blockade of the impoverished enclave, and only opens Gaza border crossing points for humanitarian aids to the Gaza population.
