Occupied Jerusalem — Israeli aircraft targeted a Hamas facility in the northern Gaza Strip early Monday, hours after two rockets fired from the Palestinian enclave struck southern Israel, the army said.

"In response to the rockets launched towards southern Israel, IAF (Israel air force) aircraft targeted a Hamas training compound in the northern Gaza Strip," a statement from the military said.

A Palestinian security source said there were no injuries.

On Sunday night, two projectiles fired from Gaza hit southern Israel, one damaging a home in a border town.

Another projectile flew short of its target and hit Gaza, the army said.

The Sunday attacks ended a three-day lull in the latest wave of rocket fire amid anger over US President Donald Trump's December 6 recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Fighters in the Palestinian enclave have fired both rockets and mortar rounds into Israel since Trump's deeply controversial announcement.

Trump's announcement was followed by protests across the Palestinian territories, with six Gazans killed -- four in clashes with Israeli forces along the border and two in an Israeli air strike.

Hamas usually evacuates such facilities when tensions rise, and Israel's choice of the low-profile target appeared to signal a desire to avoid more serious confrontation "Israel does not seek escalation," Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked said on Army Radio.

But Zeev Elkin, another member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet, said in an interview with the radio station that Israel's military response would "have to be harshened" if the rocket fire did not stop. — Agencies
