An Israeli plane bombed several targets of extremists in Gaza early this morning after three rockets were fired from the Palestinian territory towards the south of Israel last night.
A military statement said the military camps and naval base of Hamas, the Islamic extremist organization that rules Gaza, were targeted.
There were no immediate reports of possible casualties, according to AP, and Israeli media later announced that two people were wounded.
On Saturday evening, Israel announced that the Iron Dome air defense system had intercepted two of the three rockets fired from Gaza.
All three missiles were later said to have been shot down.
No Palestinian organization claimed responsibility for the rocket fire.
The Israeli military said Hamas was responsible for all the violence coming from Gaza.
Cross-border violence between Israel and Palestinian extremists in Gaza has erupted sporadically in recent years.
In November, the two sides briefly clashed fiercely, something that has not been seen for months.
Leaders of Hamas and the less radical Islamic Jihad organization are in Cairo, where they are negotiating with Egyptian mediators to consolidate a ceasefire that would lead, as expected, to economic incentives and the easing of restrictions under Israel's 12-year blockade of Gaza, according to the US agency.
Hamas has fought three wars with Israel since it seized power in Gaza by force in 2007, defeating forces loyal to the more moderate Fatah.
