The attack overnight Thursday was in response to two rockets fired on southern Israel on Wednesday afternoon.

One of the targets hit was a Hamas terror training camp, according to reports citing Israeli and Hamas sources. Four Palestinians were injured, according to the Hamas sources.

More than 160 rockets and mortars have been fired at Israel from Gaza since the beginning of 2010, according to a statement issued Thursday by the Israel Defense Forces.
