Israel Strikes Hamas Targets in Gaza After Rocket Hits House

The Israel Defense Forces identified one of the targets as a secret military intelligence headquarters. There were no immediate reports of any casualties, BBC reports. 

The IDF has accused Hamas, which controls Gaza, of firing the rocket that hit Mishmeret on Monday morning.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced it as "wanton aggression".

A rocket launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza hit a house in Mishmeret, about 120km (75 miles) to the north, causing severe damage to the building and setting it on fire.

The blast also caused damage to at least one nearby home and several vehicles.

It was the furthest a rocket has reached in Israel since the 2014 conflict in Gaza.
