Tel Aviv/Gaza City - Israel again blocked the entry of goods into Gaza Tuesday, after Palestinian militants launched another rocket from the area into Israeli territory, in another violation of a wobbly truce that took effect in the strip 12 days ago.

The Israeli Defence Ministry ordered the military to shut Israel's key crossings with the Gaza Strip, allowing in no goods at least for the day, in retaliation for the overnight rocket attack, Israel Radio reported.

The rocket launched late Monday caused neither injuries nor damage, a military spokeswoman in Tel Aviv said, and was the fifth rocket launched since the truce went into effect at 0300 GMT on June 19.

Israel responded also to the previous launchings by temporarily shutting the Gaza crossing points. They were reopened Sunday after some four days of complete closure. (dpa)
