It was not immediately clear if the weapons used in the  attack were rockets or mortar shells. No injuries or damage have been  reported.
Gaza terrorists have stepped up their attacks on Israeli  civilians living near Gaza over the past several days. In addition, terrorists  have targeted soldiers patrolling near the Gaza security barrier, and civilian  workers in the area. 
The increasingly frequent attacks follow months of  relative quiet after the Cast Lead counterterror offensive in Gaza in December  and January.
On Monday afternoon, an Israeli navy ship fired on a Gaza  boat after it failed to heed repeated calls to stop. The shots caused a fire  aboard the small ship.
Sailors and Gaza fishermen worked together to  extinguish the blaze. Gaza Arabs reported that one man was injured in the  attack.
Gaza residents said that the boat in question was a fishing  vessel, and those on board were civilians. Israeli naval officers expressed  skepticism, pointing out that similar “fishing boats” had been used in previous  attacks, and that the blaze aboard the boat proved that it had been carrying  some sort of highly flammable material.
