Israel retaliates on Gaza for rocket fire

A Palestinian rocket launched from Gaza struck Israel but caused no casualties or damage, in a rare attack that drew Israeli air strikes against Palestinian militant targets.

A 70-year-old Palestinian man was slightly wounded in one of the Israeli strikes, health workers said.

“In response to the projectile fired towards southern Israeli communities earlier today, the air force targeted three Hamas posts in the northern Gaza Strip,” the Israeli military said in a statement, cautioning it “will not tolerate rocket fire towards civilians”.

Gaza residents said an armed training camp, a security compound and an observation post belonging to Hamas were hit.
