JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A rocket fired from the Hamas-run Gaza Strip landed in southern Israel on Friday but there were no casualties or damage, the Israeli military said.
A fragile ceasefire has been in place since Israel ended a 22-day military offensive in Gaza on January 18 that was designed to punish the Islamist Hamas group for cross-border attacks from the Palestinian coastal enclave.
Israel has responded to past attacks with air strikes.
An Israeli army spokesman said the rocket was fired from the northern Gazan town of Beit Lahiya.
Egypt is trying to secure a lasting ceasefire within days between Israel and Hamas, both of which refuse to hold direct talks with each other.
But diplomats said Egypt's efforts had become complex, with Israel and Hamas disagreeing on the nature and scope of any truce deal.
