| Israel's Iron Dome missile defence system has intercepted five rockets fired at the city of Ashkelon from the Gaza Strip and the military responded with a series of air strikes on the Hamas-controlled territory. | |
| No group has taken responsibility for firing the rockets, which were shot down on Thursday by Iron Dome's small radar-guided missiles over Ashkelon, a coastal city of about 125,000 people about seven miles north of Gaza. | |
| Israel said it held the Islamist group Hamas, which has ruled the Palestinian enclave since 2007, responsible for all cross-border rocket fire. | |
| Palestinian security officials said two Hamas camps had been hit by Israel's air strikes and that five people had been wounded. | |
