Spokesman: Gaza Rocket Targets Southern Israel
A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip between Sunday night and Monday morning struck southern Israel but did not cause any casualties or damage, an army spokesman said.
The rocket exploded in a field, and marked the third such attack from the Gaza Strip, controlled by the Islamist movement Hamas, since Friday.
In response to the two previous rockets, both on Friday, Israel launched air raids against a base of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, in northern Gaza. Neither the rockets nor the air raids caused any casualties.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the rocket fire.
