Israel fires missiles on Gaza after rocket attack
Israeli army late Monday says it fired airstrikes on a Hamas target in Gaza, following a rocket attack from the Palestinian enclave.
There were no immediate reports of any injuries or damage.
The Israeli Defence Forces said a rocket was fired from Gaza into southern Israel earlier on Monday evening.
Local media sources said the rocket landed in an open field and caused an alarm to be sounded in the nearby kibbutz Kerem Shalom.
Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, is listed as a terrorist organisation by Israel, the U.S., and the European Union.
Israel and Hamas have been locked in a battle of territories for decades. The Gaza strip has been a hotbed of fatal exchanges between the two Middle East countries.
