Rocket fired from Gaza strikes Israel, no casualties: Military

Jerusalem: A rocket fired from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip struck southern Israel on Saturday, causing no damage or casualties, Israel`s military said.

Air raid sirens sounded throughout Ashkelon, a city with a population of about 120,000 people, which was also targeted three days ago by rockets fired by a radical group sympathetic with Islamic State.

Israel`s military retaliated for the earlier rocket fire with bombing raids against militant training camps in the Gaza Strip.

Sporadic rocket fire from Gaza in recent weeks has broken a lull in cross-border violence since a 50-day Israeli war against Hamas ended with an Egyptian-brokered truce last August.
