Four rockets were fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, the IDF said, and it responded with airstrikes against facilities belonging to the enclave's ruling Hamas terrorist group.
No casualties were reported on either side of the Israel-Gaza border.

Two of the projectiles launched from Gaza were shot down by Israel's Iron Dome air defense system, the military said in a statement. Israel's Channel 13 television said the other two struck uninhabited areas.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility from the Gaza Strip.
The IDF said that in response to the rocket attack, its warplanes struck several "Hamas terror targets" in the northern Gaza Strip, including a weapon manufacturing facility and a compound.
Hamas' armed wing usually evacuates its facilities in anticipation of Israeli retaliation after cross-border rocket strikes.
A statement by the IDF did not accuse Hamas of launching the rockets but said that it holds the group responsible "for all events transpiring in the Gaza Strip."
