Israeli missile falls in Israeli town

GAZA, Dec 24 (KUNA) -- A Palestinian missile landed in an Israeli town near Gaza Strip without causing casualties or damage, said the Israeli Army on Friday.
Spokesman of the army told Yedioth Ahronoth Israeli paper that Palestinian militants fired the missile from south Gaza at Ashkelon.
No Palestinian fraction claimed responsibility of the attack.
Israeli officials threatened to launch a new war on Gaza Strip if the firing of rockets and missile at Israel continues.
The firing of missiles and rockets at Israeli towns and military sites increased in the past few days.
That came as response to Israel's killing of five Palestinian activists in a raid on central Gaza on Saturday. (end) mzt.ris KUNA 241152 Dec 10NNNN
