JERUSALEM (AFP) — A rocket hit southern Israel on Thursday causing no damage or casualties, the fourth fired from the Gaza Strip since a truce with Hamas went into effect on June 19, the Israeli army said.

The rocket slammed into an open field outside a kibbutz near the town of Sderot, an army spokesman said.

It was the fourth such attack since the trure began, with Islamic Jihad claiming responsibility for three rockets fired at southern Israel on Tuesday.
