One person was killed and two others were seriously injured when gunners from the Gaza Strip fired a rocket into southern Israel Thursday morning. One additional person sustained minor injuries in the strike. All the victims were hit with shrapnel from the rockets.
Last week, two migrant workers from Thailand were wounded in a rocket attack in the same region.
The Hamas group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Earlier, an Israeli army force invaded into the Gaza town of Abbassan Alsagheira, under a barrage of heavy gun fire. Witnesses said that a number of Israeli tanks rolled into the town, to the east of Khan Younis city in southern Gaza Strip.
Witnesses added that the tanks advanced few hundred meters depth into locals' farm lands in the area, as Israeli warplanes were hovering overheads. Bulldozers, accompanying the invading forces, started razing some of the farm lands, firing rounds of heavy live ammunition towards houses, the witnesses explained.
