Are now an Israel Police there saying that Hamas militants in Gaza.
Fired two rockets into that country slamming a border town this is present Obama meets with Palestinian leaders today in the West Bank.
-- pals live in the town Esther -- Israel.
Southern part of the country were police say one of those rockets landed Connor hello.
Well bill Israeli officials are actually up the number -- four rockets that have been fired from Gaza into southern Israel earlier today and while much of the physical damage is fairly minor here -- you can -- it was just a little bit of damage to a patio.
There's also the emotional damage this is the second time this house here -- -- -- actually been damaged in the last four by much is also the symbolic damage.
The cease fire at a very fragile cease fire that was agreed to in Thanksgiving has been broken.
And -- there's no doubt that this volley of rockets that came from Gaza.
Was tied to president Obama's trip here to Israel end to the West Bank earlier today you know you wonder what has been set either out of Gaza or even Hamas what are they trying to save -- -- -- Well bill I think it's clear we don't know if it was Hamas or Islamic Jihad but it's clear coming out of guys -- that this is the Palestinians in Gaza -- Don't forget about us -- part of this equation here president Obama's meeting with Israeli leaders and -- Palestinian Authority leaders in the West Bank.
They're not meeting with Hamas or other groups from Gaza.
So it's clear that this is probably eight of a Palestinian effort from Gaza to say hey we're here -- part of the equation don't forget about us but of course Gaza doesn't want to meet with US and Israeli officials.
They're not even on speaking terms really to the Palestinian Authority right now so it's not clear what they want out of this other than -- sort of scare the world with these rocket attacks sometimes this is a daily occurrence has it been that way lately.
This cease fire is actually held for the last four months I think there's maybe one rocket attacks -- time in the last four months.
But there has been this very fragile cease fire that was signed and implemented since Thanksgiving after that very deadly week of fighting between Israeli and Palestinians in Gaza.
But so far it's held but right now.
Who knows what's gonna happen -- that's always the fear there's always the fear of the further violence going forward bill thank you Connor Connor -- southern Israel on that more on the president's trip in a moment to.
