The rocket landed in Israel's deserted area, no one was hurt, according to the Jerusalem Post newspaper.

The previous rocket was shot at Israel from Gaza territory on December 19, 2014, breaching the August Israeli-Palestinian truce for the second time.

An open-ended ceasefire was reached by the sides in August 2014 after a 50-day conflict. In July 2014, Israel launched Operation Protective Edge against the Hamas forces that resulted in deaths of over 2,000 Palestinians and 71 Israelis, according to the UN estimates.
