As warning sirens wailed around 5:30 a.m., at least five rockets fired from the Hamas-controlled region touched down inside Israeli towns near the Gaza border, with one rocket hitting outside a kindergarten.
A Hamas spokesman said that, as part of a policy of "bombardment for bombardment", the barrages were retaliation for an earlier Israeli air strike.

The pre-dawn exchange of fire comes at an especially tense time as around 130 Palestinians have been killed along the Gaza border in recent months as Palestinians stage mass demonstrations there.
Emerging during the recent weeks of border protests and clashes that began on March 30 the "fire kites" affixed with Molotov cocktails and fire-bombs have quickly became a popular way for Palestinians to inflict millions of shekels worth of damage on Israel without putting themselves in danger.
Also, its two-month campaign against the Gaza border fence resulted in the death of some 160 Arabs, majority Hamas terrorists, with nothing tangible to show for it.
