A rocket launched from the Gaza Strip hit a house in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba on Wednesday, February 23, a police spokesman said, adding there were no initial reports of casualties.
Beersheba is a major population centre southern Israel, about 35 km (20 miles) from the Gaza Strip. Palestinian militants mostly launch rockets that have a much shorter range and are aimed at areas closer to the coastal territory.
There was no initial claim or responsibility from any Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip.
