ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)

STORY: Palestinian militants resumed firing rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip on Friday, Israeli police and municipal officials said, after a 72-hour ceasefire expired.

There were no reports or casualties or damage after sirens sounded in southern Israel, nor was there any immediate Israeli military response.

A spokeswoman for Hamas, the Islamist militant group that dominates the Gaza Strip, said it would not extend the truce but talks in Cairo mediated by Egypt would continue.
