Palestinians fire rockets at Israeli settlements in West Bank, Jerusalem

Palestinian groups in Gaza fired rockets towards Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, ending a 12-hour lull in fighting.

Rockets sirens were sounded in Jerusalem and in Gush Etzion, a major block of Israeli settlements near the Palestinian city of Bethlehem.

At least one rocket landed inside the settlement of Bat Ayin, according to initial reports. 

There were no immediate reports of injuries. 

Incoming rocket sirens were also heard in southern Israeli cities near the Gaza frontier.
