Palestinian militants have fired two rockets at the Israeli town of Sderot, even though a truce had been agreed to last week between Israel and the Hamas leaders who are in control of the Gaza Strip.

No injuries were reported.

Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers have killed two Palestinians in the town of Nablus in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli army says the two men were members of the Islamic Jihad.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak met earlier today with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to assure him that the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip would remain closed.
