Rocket from Gaza hits Israel; no injuries

JERUSALEM - The Associated Press

The Israeli military says a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip hit an open area in a southern Israeli village but caused no injuries.
 
The army says the rocket was fired by Palestinian militants on Monday. Israeli TV has broadcast footage showing remnants of the rocket near a home.
 
There was no claim of responsibility.
 
The attack came a day after a pipe bomb believed planted by Palestinian militants exploded on a bus in central Israel. The bus was evacuated and no one was hurt. It was the most serious attack inside Israel in more than a year.
 
Late last week, a mortar shell was fired into Israel, causing no injuries.
 
Rocket fire from Gaza has been sporadic since Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers fought an eight-day battle last year.
