A shaky ceasefire in the Gaza Strip slid further toward a resumption of full scale war Thursday when Hamas fired rockets toward the coastal city of Tel Aviv, officials reported.

Rockets are the first fired at central Israel since October, with one intercepted, two hitting open areas; Hamas says mediators trying to revive truce but 'no breakthrough'

Hamas fired its first barrage of rockets in months into Israeli territory yesterday as Israeli troops expanded ground operations across Gaza. After the collapse of a two-month cease-fire, the fighting now looks as if it is escalating back to full-scale war.
