The Shehab news site, affiliated with Hamas, reported that a tank shelled a position east of Deir Balah in the central Strip at around 3 a.m.
There were no reports of injuries or damage.
Israeli officials said earlier that five rockets fired from Gazoo landed in open areas in the Eshkol region before 1 a.m. There were no reports of injuries or damage and no claims of responsibility.
The relatively tame response to the rocket fire appeared designed to keep tensions from snowballing amid intensive efforts to broker a long-term calm between the sides, after relatively restrained border protests on Saturday.
