 Jerusalem (IINA) - The Israeli air force struck an alleged militant target in the Gaza Strip early on Wednesday, the military said, hours after Palestinians fired a rocket into southern Israel.
“In response to this attack, the Israel Defense Forces struck the launcher from which the rocket was fired at Israel earlier,” an army statement said. “A hit was confirmed.”
The rocket fired earlier fell on open ground in the vicinity of Yad Mordechai, it said, referring to a kibbutz near the Israel-Gaza border. No injuries were reported in either the rocket strike or the Israeli response.
It was the fifth such incident in just under a month. The last rocket to hit Israel previously was on June 6 and was answered within hours by an Israeli airstrike into the coastal strip. Neither caused any casualties. There were also retaliatory air strikes after three previous rocket attacks since May 26. A rocket was fired on June 11 but it fell short and landed inside the Palestinian territory.
