JERUSALEM (AP) - Police say three Palestinian rockets have hit southern Israel and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office says the cease-fire that took effect last week has been broken.
Islamic Jihad militants in the Gaza Strip says they carried out the attack to avenge an Israeli military raid that killed one of their fighters in the West Bank early Tuesday.
Israel's national rescue service says two people were lightly wounded in the rocket barrage.
The West Bank is not formally part of the truce. But Islamic Jihad says it "cannot keep its hands tied" when its "brothers" in the West Bank are being targeted.
However, the Gaza Strip's ruling Hamas group says it remains committed to the truce.
Israeli troops killed two Palestinians in the West Bank raid.

Re: … That is a natural part of scripture for a theology originating in a region that has known constant warfare for as far back as history reaches, and probably well beyond.
Our problem as a species is that the necessary agressiveness we acquired through the evolutionary process is now obsolete.
