A rocket fired by Palestinian militants from the Gaza Strip on Wednesday landed in Egypt and wounded a woman, the official MENA news agency reported. The woman, who was not identified, was rushed to hospital after the rocket struck the Rafah border town, the report said.
It was the second time Palestinian rockets aimed at Israel strayed into Egyptian territory. On Sunday, a projectile landed on the Egyptian side of the border but caused no casualties nor damage. The Islamist Hamas rulers of Gaza agreed a truce with Israel on Sunday to end fighting sparked when militants believed to have slipped into Israel from Egypt ambushed several vehicles in the Negev desert last week, killing eight.
