AFP - A rocket fired from the Gaza Strip on Friday slammed into an empty field in Israel without causing any casualties or damage, the army said, a day after a rocket killed a Thai labourer.

The projectile landed in the Shaar Hanegev area of southern Israel, an army spokesman said.

On Thursday, a Thai farm labourer was killed when a rocket landed in a village in southern Israel.

The Israeli army retaliated overnight with air strikes targeting what the military called "terror sites," including a weapons manufacturing facility.
