The Israeli military struck a Hamas military post in the Gaza Strip late Monday night, in response to a rocket launched from the [Arab Muslim] enclave earlier in the day.

The rocket exploded in an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council. There were no reports of injuries or damage.

Warning sirens were not activated as radar detected that the projectile would hit open territory.

The Gaza border region has suffered sporadic rocket fire recently, much of it emanating from Salafist groups within the [Arab controlled area] challenging Hamas rule.

Israel regularly retaliates for such attacks with limited strikes on Hamas targets, saying it holds the group responsible for any violence.

Last week, a rocket was fired at Israel from the [area]. In response the Israeli air force struck two installations it described as terror targets in Gaza.

The IDF said in a statement that Monday’s rocket launch was the 20th such attack since the beginning of 2015.
