From Times Wire Reports
The Israeli government refused to fully open crossings with the Gaza Strip, and Palestinian militants attacked Israel with mortar rounds, further testing an already fragile truce that started June 19.

Later, Palestinian militants fired two mortar shells toward Israel, police said, but no injuries or damage were reported.
