There
were no reports of injuries from both the rocket fire and the Israeli
raids, which the military said targeted “four terror sites”.Israeli
air raids have hit the Gaza Strip in response to a rocket fired from
the Palestinian enclave that was intercepted by the Iron Dome missile
defence system, officials said Wednesday.Witnesses
and Palestinian security sources said four training camps for Hamas’s
armed wing, the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, were hit in the raids.The rocket from Gaza was fired toward the southern Israeli city of Ashdod, according to the military.Salafist
militants claiming links to the Islamic State group have said they were
behind recent rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, but Israel holds Hamas
responsible for all such incidents.They
were empty at the time.Three of the camps are located in Gaza City and the fourth in the north of the coastal enclave.Hamas
is the Islamist movement that runs Gaza, which has been hit by three
wars with Israel since 2008, including last summer’s devastating
conflict that left more than 100,000 homeless and killed more than
2,200.
A rocket fired last week from Gaza into southern Israel caused no damage or injuries.
