Gaza rocket injures two Israelis Israel to weigh Gaza truce stance
(about 4 hours later)
A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip has injured two children in southern Israel, Israeli medics have said. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is to meet senior ministers later in the day to discuss a month-long Gaza ceasefire after renewed rocket attacks.
Officials said the rocket hit a house in the town of Sderot. Reports say one of the victims was taken to hospital in a serious condition. A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip on Tuesday injured two teenage Israeli boys in the southern town of Sderot.
Rocket attacks from Gaza have continued despite a ceasefire agreed by Israel and the Palestinians in November. Defence Minister Amir Peretz said Israel must reconsider its "restraint".
So far Israel has not retaliated despite calls by some Cabinet members for a response. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad group said it carried out the Sderot attack in retaliation for recent Israeli military raids in the West Bank.

The group said it was in retaliation for recent Israeli military raids in the West Bank. Rocket attacks have been increasing in recent days. The Israeli military said seven in all were fired on Tuesday.
At least six rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel on Tuesday, the Israeli military said. One rocket struck a street in Sderot, critically injuring one teenager and seriously injuring another, Israeli media said.
After the attack, a spokesman for Mr Olmert, David Baker, warned Israel's "restraint will not continue indefinitely while Israelis continue to be attacked".
The 26 November truce was called to halt five months of violence that began after militants killed two Israeli soldiers and captured another in an attack on an army post.
Analysts say Mr Olmert must weigh calls from Israeli hardliners for a response to the dozens of rockets that have been fired since the truce began with appeals from the US and Europeans to maintain the ceasefire.
Israel has killed more than a dozen Palestinians, mainly gunmen in the West Bank, since the truce.
