The Israeli military says it has struck eight targets of the militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip after a rocket was launched at Israel from Gaza.
No injuries were reported from the rocket fire or the Israeli retaliation.
The army on Thursday said it struck one of the militant group’s military compounds, a training facility and a munition manufacturing and storage site among other targets.
The flare-up comes as Egypt is attempting to broker a truce between Israel and Hamas, but talks appear to have faltered.
The Israeli military said Hamas “is responsible for all events transpiring in the Gaza Strip and emanating from it, and will bear the consequences for the terror it has waged against Israeli civilians”.
