At least two rockets fired by Palestinians in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip struck southern Israel on Sunday, causing no damage or casualties, police said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the salvo from armed factions in Gaza, which is still reeling from a 22-day Israeli offensive billed as punishing Islamist Hamas for such cross-border attacks.

Since a January 18 truce took hold, there has been sporadic rocket fire. Israel has mostly responded with air strikes.
