Palestinian militants fired a barrage of rockets at Israel and the Israeli military responded with a wave of pre-dawn air strikes in Gaza killing one man on Saturday (November 2), Palestinian and Israeli officials said.
The Israeli army said it targeted sites belonging to Hamas, the Islamist militant group which rules Gaza, after Palestinians fired 10 rockets into Israel late on Friday (November 1).
Eight of them were intercepted by missile defence systems. One projectile hit a house in a town near the border, causing damage but not casualties, police said.
In southern Gaza, medical officials and locals said a small cabin was hit, killing 27-year-old civilian Ahmed Al-Shahri and wounding two others.
None of the armed groups in Gaza claimed responsibility for firing the rockets. The Israeli military said Hamas was ultimately responsible for the attack.
