A new volley of rockets fired from Gaza territory into Israel on Saturday, hamstring Egyptian efforts to establish a renewed truce, after protests over a Palestinian teenager's murder spread to Arab-Israeli towns.
Israeli police reported clashes in three mainly Arab towns in the northeast and center of the country late Friday after the east Jerusalem funeral of the teenager, believed to have been abducted and murdered by Jewish troops.
Around the central town of Qalansuwa, angry Arab protesters stopped traffic, attacking Jewish drivers and torching their cars, public radio reported.
The road to the town, in the Triangle district close to border with the occupied West Bank, remained closed on Saturday as sporadic protests continued, police said.
A rocket and a mortar round hit southern Israel from Gaza early Saturday after militants fired 18 on Friday, AFP reports.
