2 Gaza rockets hit Israel hours after IDF kills militant near Gaza

Palestinian militants on Friday fired a rocket from the Hamas-run Gaza Strip into the Sha'ar Hanegev regional council, which lies in the western Negev, the Israel Defense Forces said.

There were no casualties or damage, the IDF said.

Three hours later, a rocket hit near the coastal city of Ashkelon. No injuries were reported in the attack.

An IDF spokesman said the first rocket was fired from the northern Gazan town of Beit Lahiya.

IDF soldiers on Thursday evening killed a Palestinian militant who approached the Gaza-Israel border and drew a grenade.

The grenade subsequently exploded as a result of the soldiers' gunfire, killing the militant. There were no casualties among the troops, who were from the Golani infantry brigade. The incident took place near Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha.

The troops later searched the area from which the militant had come, Army Radio said, then returned to Israeli territory.


The incident came a few hours after senior Defense Ministry official Amos Gilad headed to Cairo to meet with Egyptian mediators over negotiations for a truce with Hamas in Gaza.

The cease-fire that ended Israel's 22-day offensive against Hamas in the coastal territory two weeks ago has been ruptured by intermittent fighting.

On Wednesday, Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip launched a mortar shell at southern Israel, which exploded in the Eshkol Regional Council.

There were no casualties reported in the incident, which came a day after Gaza militants fired the first Grad rocket at Israel since the end of the IDF campaign in Gaza.
