Israel strikes Gaza after it says Hamas attacked across ceasefire line [View all]

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel on Sunday struck targets in the southern Gaza Strip after it said its troops came under fire from Hamas militants, in the first major test of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire meant to halt more than two years of war.

Members of the Palestinian group used an RPG and Israel responded with airstrikes and artillery, the military said.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held consultations with Israel’s security heads and directed the military to take “strong action” against any ceasefire violations, but did not threaten to return to war.

Hamas said that it was not connected to any clashes in Rafah in southern Gaza.
