Tuesday 19 August 2014 15.33 Israel carried out at least four air strikes across Gaza and ordered its negotiating team back from truce talks in Cairo after three rockets hit the country's south.
The air raids came minutes after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to respond to three rocket attacks near the southern city of Beersheva as the two sides observed a 24-hour truce.
Palestinian witnesses and security officials said the air raids targeted open areas in the northern area of Beit Lahiya, in Maghazi in the centre, and in Khan Yunis and in Rafah in the south.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage on either side of the border.
Nor was there any claim of responsibility for the rockets fired at Beersheva which is home to around 200,000 people.
The Israeli foreign ministry declared the rocket attacks a violation of a 24-hour ceasefire, which had been agreed in Cairo last night and was due to expire at 10pm Irish time.
A government official said Israel's negotiating team had been ordered to return immediately from truce talks in Cairo, which Egyptian officials had been mediating with the Palestinians.
The Israeli military said it was targeting "terror sites across the Gaza Strip" following renewed rocket attacks at Israel.
"Yet again, terrorists breach the ceasefire and renew fire at Israeli civilians from Hamas ruled Gaza Strip," said army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri accused Israel of sabotaging indirect talks in Cairo aimed at brokering a longer-term ceasefire.
"We don't have any information about firing rockets from Gaza. The Israeli raids are intended to abort the negotiations in Cairo," Abu Zuhri told AFP.
