Rocket fired on Israel from Gaza: military

Gaza, August 29: A rocket fired from the Hamas-run Gaza Strip landed in southern Israel on Saturday without causing any casualties or damage, the Israeli military said.

More than 200 rockets and mortars have been fired on Israel from the besieged territory since the end of a massive Israeli military offensive at the turn of the year aimed at halting such attacks.

More than 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed in the 22-day war, which was brought to an end by separate ceasefires on January 18.

Gaza’s borders have remained mostly quiet since then, despite the rocket attacks and occasional Israeli military operations.
