The Air Force also struck another location west of Gaza City, causing fires and excessive damage.
The Israeli army alleges that a shell was fired from Gaza Saturday night, towards an Israeli settlement close to the Gaza Strip, causing no damage or injuries.
Israel said sirens were sounded in settlements close to Gaza, and on the Asqalan Coast, followed by the sound of explosions. The military then reported that their explosive experts started a search for the alleged shells. But no damage was reported from the alleged rocket fire.
