Rocket fired from Gaza lands in Israel, IDF responds with tank fire, airstrikes

A third rocket is fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel, striking an empty field in the south of the country, the army says.

In response to that, as well as to an attempted rocket attack earlier in the evening that fell short, the IDF attacks two Hamas positions in Gaza with tank fire and airstrikes, the army says.

A different terror group in the Strip, the al-Tawheed Brigades, took responsibility for the launch, but the army targeted Hamas because it sees the Gaza-ruling group as responsible for any attack coming from the coastal enclave.
