Rockets fired after Gaza incursion

Nov 5 - Hamas has fired dozens of rockets at Israel after Israeli forces entered Gaza, killing six Palestinian fighters, threatening a five-month-old truce.

The rocket attacks caused no casualties but how Israel responds will determine whether the Gaza truce is in peril.

Israel said its forces entered the Gaza strip to destroy a tunnel which it said Hamas was planning to use to kidnap Israeli soldiers.

Sources in Hamas, the Islamist movement that runs the Palestinian coastal strip, said calm could return if Israel didn't retaliate.

Egypt has been working to extend the ceasefire beyond its agreed six-month duration and, in conjunction with other Arab countries, to reconcile Hamas and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction at a summit in Cairo next week.
