JERUSALEM -- Israeli TV stations are reporting that a rocket fired from Gaza has exploded in a shopping center in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon. Channel 2 TV reports that people were wounded but it was not immediately clear how many. The rocket attack Wednesday afternoon came as President Bush wrapped up talks in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. The Israeli leader said at the end of the talks that Israel would not tolerate attacks from Gaza militants.
