Israel said it would shut its border crossings with the Gaza Strip tomorrow in response to a rocket attack that further strained a ceasefire between the Jewish state and Gaza militants.
The rocket fired from the Gaza Strip today struck near the centre of Sderot, a town in southern Israel often targeted by militants, causing no damage or injuries, Israeli police said.
In a statement, Israel's Defence Ministry said crossings between Israel and the Hamas-controlled territory would be closed today in response to the attack.
No Palestinian group claimed responsibility for firing the rocket.
Such attacks have become rare since an Egyptian-brokered truce with Hamas militants in Gaza took effect in June but Israel has closed the crossings twice since then after similar cross-border attacks by militants.
Raed Fattouh, a Palestinian official who coordinates the delivery of supplies into the coastal enclave, said he was notified by Israeli authorities that no goods would enter Gaza tomorrow because of the attack.
