Mortar shell fired from Gaza, drawing retaliatory Israeli strikes
I tagged this as Hamas, because they’re responsible for the Gaza Strip, but I suspect it was actually Islamic Jihad who shot off the rocket — on Iran’s orders
[IsraelTimes] No reports of injuries or damages as shell strikes open field; projectile was the second to be launched at Israel on Thursday.

A projectile was fired Thursday from the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Strip toward southern Israel, prompting retaliatory strikes by the Israeli military against Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, positions in the coastal enclave.

The projectile ‐ apparently a mortar shell ‐ struck an open field in the Sha’ar Hanegev region, a local government spokesperson said. There were no injuries or damage caused the attack.

Incoming rocket sirens were set off in Kfar Azza, a kibbutz near the Gaza border, the army said.

Hours later, the Israel Defense Forces launched a series of strikes on Hamas targets in the Strip.

News outlets in Gaza reported that the strikes targeted Hamas posts throughout the enclave, from the area around Rafah in the south to near Beit Lahia in the north.

"A short while ago, IDF aircraft attacked underground infrastructure and a naval target belonging to the Hamas terror group in the southern Gaza Strip, as well as a military installation belonging to the terror group in the north of the Strip," the military confirmed in a statement, noting that the attack was in retaliation for the rocket strike earlier in the evening.

There were no immediate reports of Paleostinian injuries.

The projectile fired from Gaza on Thursday evening was the second to be launched at Israel by Paleostinian bandidos hard boyz that day, after a rocket was fired in the predawn hours of the morning.

The Israel Defense Forces said the earlier rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome defense system, with no reports of injury or damage. In response, Israeli aircraft struck a Hamas weapons production facility in northern Gaza, the army said, noting it holds the terror group, which rules Gaza, responsible for all violence emanating from it.

Israel later announced it had restricted the permitted fishing zone off the coast of the Gaza Strip to 10 nautical miles in response to the rocket fire.
The Jerusalem Post adds:
According to Palestinian media in the coastal enclave the strikes were said to have targeted Hamas sites in Khan Yunis and Rafiah in the south as well as targets in Beit Lahia in the northern part of the Strip.
