Rocket Fired from Gaza Hits Southern Israel

Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired a rocket which hit southern Israel on Sunday, without causing casualties, Israeli police said.

"There was one rocket that was fired into the southern region, it landed in an open area causing no damage and no injuries," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told Agence France Presse.

Last month, a series of Israeli air strikes and Palestinian rocket salvoes followed Israel's killing of a Gaza militant leader.

Palestinians in Gaza fired more than 310 rockets at Israel whose warplanes carried out dozens of air strikes, killing 25 people, among them 14 members of militant group Islamic Jihad.
