Occupied Jerusalem: Israeli rescue services said on Sunday that Gaza militants have launched barrages of rockets and mortar shells at southern Israel.
The rescue services said one rocket scored a direct hit on a house in the town of Sderot. No one was injured.
The Israeli military said a worker at an Israeli farming community near Gaza was lightly wounded by shrapnel in a separate rocket attack Sunday.
A truce between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers expired on Friday. The truce had frayed since early November, and rocket fire at Israeli towns has been increasing.
