Mortar hits Eshkol as Gaza fire resumes

A projectile - apparently a mortar - fired from Gaza hit an open area in Eshkol Regional Council, one of the Israeli communities close to the Gaza border.

Air raid sirens sounded due to the attack, which occurred at around 10pm.

The attack comes two days after IDF troops shot dead a Hamas operative in Gaza, which the army later said was a mistake and apologized for.
