The rocket was fired from the outskirts of Beit Lahya at 1:50am and landed near the Rashaya al-Fukhar town.

No one is reportedly injured. The army has deployed patrols in the area.

According to security sources, Israeli jets fired light bombs over the area in response to the incident.

A number of similar incidents have taken place recently in light of the Israeli campaign against the Gaza Strip that began earlier this month.
