Rocket fired from Gaza into Israel

A rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel overnight without causing any casualties, Israel's military said on Saturday. "A rocket fired from Gaza landed last night in the Eshkol region and caused no injuries or damage," a military spokesman told AFP. It was the first rocket to have been fired in nearly a month and a half. In mid-April, a rocket-propelled grenade struck an Israeli school bus, killing a teenager and triggering the deadliest clashes since Israel's devastating 22-day assault on the Palestinian territory to stop such attacks in 2008-2009.
