A Palestinian group in Gaza has not claimed responsibility for the rocket fire, which broke months of relative calm, but Israel is blaming Hamas for all attacks coming from Gaza, taking into account into which other fighting groups are based in the circulation.
The poor and densely populated Gaza Strip has been under severe Israeli blockade since 2007, after Hamas crossed the coast.
Hamas and Israel reached an agreement at the end of September to stop enemies, although attacks continued.
The peace followed a deadly rise in violence and he wanted to see Israel allow new development projects, including an industrial zone and a hospital.
Hamas has accused Israel of not fully complying with the treaty.
Israel, which considers Hamas to be a “terrorist” group, moves talks straight and has never acknowledged its rest.
Israel has launched three criminals against the Gaza Strip since 2008, and there have been many flames.
