Occupied Jerusalem: Israeli medics say a Palestinian rocket fired from Gaza has killed a man inside Israel.

Israel's emergency service says the man was about 30 years old and appears to be a farm worker from Thailand.

Such rocket attacks were once common but have become rare since Israel's military offensive in Gaza last year.

Thursday's attack came on the same day as a visit to Gaza by Europe's top diplomat, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
