Israeli Defence Forces said they struck an underground complex in Gaza used to manufacture rockets after one fired from the Strip landed in the town of Sderot on Wednesday night.
Israeli fighter jets have carried out airstrikes on the Gaza Strip for the second time in three nights.
The strikes were in retaliation to a rocket fired from Gaza at around 10.30pm on Wednesday night.
It landed in the Israeli town of Sderot, destroying a car and damaging part of a house, while one elderly man was treated for shock.
Israel’s Iron Dome missile defence system later intercepted a salvo of rockets and sirens were activated in border towns for a second time, following heavy gunfire from the Strip.
The Israeli Defence Forces said they “struck an underground complex in Gaza used to produce rocket engines — this will significantly impede rocket manufacturing capabilities in Gaza”. No injuries have been reported.
