Palestinians in Gaza fire rockets at Israel: Army

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip fired two rockets at southern Israel today, the Israeli army said in a statement without giving further details. State-owned Kan 11 TV said nobody was injured, despite one of the rockets apparently hitting a house. 

The attacks ended a three-day lull in the latest wave of rocket attacks amid anger over US President Donald Trump's December 6 recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. On Wednesday Israel's Iron Dome missile defence system intercepted two rockets fired from Gaza while a third came down inside Israeli territory. 

Early Thursday morning Israeli aircraft hit three "military facilities" of the Islamist group Hamas in Gaza. Militants in the Palestinian enclave have fired both rockets and mortar rounds into Israel since Trump's deeply controversial announcement.

Trump's announcement was followed by protests across the Palestinian territories, with six Gazans killed -- four in clashes with Israeli forces along the border and two Hamas militants in an Israeli air strike in retaliation for rocket fire.
