Israeli tank shells land adjacent to Gaza residential areas
11/12/2005 11:11

Five Israeli tank shells landed in an area adjacent to Palestinian residential areas Saturday night, but no injury was reported, Palestinian security sources and witnesses said.
Residents of the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Lahya said five huge explosions were heard in the area and the shells landed in an area very close to houses.
The witnesses said Israeli tanks renewed shelling eastern and northern Gaza Strip after militants fired Saturday night three homemade rockets at towns in southern Israel.
Earlier in the day, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas urged militants to honor a ceasefire deal and immediately stop launching homemade rockets at Israel.
