Israeli Military Says Gaza Rocket Hits Israel
JERUSALEM — Dec 19, 2014, 9:12 AM ET
By DANIEL ESTRIN Associated Press
A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip struck southern Israel on Friday, the Israeli military said, in the first such attack since September.
The military said air raid sirens were sounded in the Eshkol region bordering the Palestinian coastal territory. The projectile landed in an open field, causing no injuries or damage, according to police.
Israel fought a 50-day war this summer with Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that controls Gaza. Hamas launched thousands of rockets and mortars toward Israel, which carried out an aerial campaign and a ground invasion.
