The last rocket fire into Israeli territory from the Palestinian enclave was on Tuesday.
The Gaza Strip is ruled by the armed Islamist movement Hamas and subject to a strict Israeli blockade.

The Israeli army announced this week that it had discovered an attack tunnel dug by Hamas from the Gaza Strip and leading into Israeli territory.
