JERUSALEM: Rocket sirens blared early on Friday in Israeli communities near the border with Gaza, the Israeli military said, around an hour before a seven-day truce between Hamas and Israel was due to expire.
Israel’s Kan public broadcaster described the sirens as the first to sound since the truce, which has been extended twice, began on Nov 24. Neither side has announced an extension to the truce.
There was no immediate comment from Hamas.
The truce was set to expire at 7am.
