Salafi group claims responsibility for Gaza rocket

Gaza-based Salafi group Aknaf Beit al-Maqdis claims responsibility for a rocket fire from the Gaza Strip earlier today which landed in the southern Israeli city of Sderot.

The rocket, the first fired from the Strip since early July, caused no injuries or damage, police said.

In response, the IDF struck two “Hamas terror bases” in the northern Gaza strip. Two Palestinian men were lightly injured by shrapnel, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
