Gaza rocket hits Israel without causing casualties

Palestinian militants in Gaza fired a rocket Wednesday which struck southern Israel without causing any casualties or damage, Israeli officials said.
A statement from the military said the rocket hit the Eshkol region, with a police spokesman telling AFP it caused no damage.
A spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas was responsible for all rocket fire from Gaza.
"PA President Abbas is responsible and accountable for rockets that are fired at Israeli towns and cities by terrorists in the Gaza Strip," Ofir Gendelman wrote on Twitter.
Some 140 projectiles fired by militants in the Gaza Strip have hit southern Israel since the start of 2014, according to the military.
On June 1, two rockets from Gaza hit Israel, following which the Israeli air force launched raids on the Palestinian enclave.
