  • Story Text: A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip injured two Israeli teenagers on Tuesday (December 26) in southern Israel, Israeli medics said, making them the first casualties of a Palestinian attack since a ceasefire went into effect last month.
    A spokesman for Magen David Adom medics said the two, including a 13-year-old boy, suffered moderate injuries from the rocket that struck near their home in the town of Sderot.
    Israel has refrained from retaliating against previous rocket strikes during the ceasefire but the government may come under public pressure to respond to any attack that caused casualties.
    The Nov. 26 truce had halted Israeli-Palestinian fighting in and near the Gaza Strip, though Israel has continued its military raids in the occupied West Bank for which militants in Gaza have responded with rocket fire.
