Rocket Fired at Israel from Gaza, None Hurt

A rocket was fired from Gaza into southern Israel on Wednesday morning without exploding or causing any casualties or damage, Israeli police said.

"A rocket fired from Gaza fell this morning in the area of Shaar Hanegev. The device did not explode and there were no injuries or damage," police spokesman Louba Samri told Agence France Presse.

The attack came after two Israeli air raids on the Gaza Strip killed at least one Palestinian and wounded about 20 others late on Tuesday.

The Israeli army said the strikes were against "global jihad" targets in the Palestinian territory who were planning cross-border attacks from neighboring Egypt.
