Gaza Strip militants barraged southern Israel with rockets overnight after the Israeli military took action in the territory against airborne arson and explosive attacks.
At least three rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system, the army said Wednesday. There were no reports of casualties on either side. The military said at least a dozen rockets were launched from the Palestinian territory, but Israel Radio put the number at 30, with 28 landing inside Israel.
The rockets were launched after Israeli aircraft targeted a vehicle belonging to a Hamas militant involved in the launching of arson and explosive balloons into Israel. The military said it also struck two observation posts belonging to the group, which rules Gaza.
