Palestinians in the Gaza Strip fired a rocket at Israel early Thursday, which was intercepted by the Iron Dome system, the army said.
Rocket warning sirens wailed in the town of Sderot and other communities near the Gaza border sending residents rushing to bomb shelters.
The IDF said a single projectile was fired from Gaza. There were no reports of injury or damage.
Several hours later, Palestinain media reports said IDF aircraft were hitting Hamas targets in Gaza. There was no immediate confirmation from the army.
The incident comes a day after an Israeli aircraft fired at and hit an armed Palestinian who approached the border fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel, the military said.
The military said the Palestinian was spotted by IDF observation posts as he neared the security fence in southern Gaza.
