Gaza Sector attacks Israel

Hamas has renewed missile attacks on Israel for the first time since the peace agreement of November, the Israeli police reports.

One missile destroyed part of a road at Ashkelon.

30-year-old Arafat Jaradat, a Palestinian convict, died at an Israeli prison on February 23. About 4,500 Palestinian convicts started a mass hunger strike. The missile attack may be a response of solidarity.

The Pillar of Cloud Operation in Gaza ended on November 21. Hamas agreed to stop attacks.
