Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip early on Wednesday after a missile fired from Gaza hit southern Israel, the Iranian Press TV news channel reported.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Israeli Air Force targeted the Nuseirat refugee camp, Rafah and Khan Younis, as well as the Palestinian city of Beit Lahia, according to Press TV.

On Tuesday, the Israeli Defense Force said in a statement that at least one rocket landed outside the city of Ashdod. There were no reports of injuries or damage caused by the rocket.

It was the fourth missile to hit Israeli territory since last year’s seven-week conflict between Israel and Gazan militant groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, resulted in an open-ended ceasefire.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad have denied firing the missile, according to Press TV.
