JERUSALEM, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Palestinian militants fired three rockets at Israel shortly before a ceasefire took effect on Sunday, causing no injuries but damaging a building, an Israeli army spokeswoman said.

One of the rockets struck the town of Sderot within an hour before the truce called by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas went into effect at 0400 GMT, and two others hit nearby towns.

The Hamas armed wing said it had fired its last rockets 30 minutes before the truce began.
