A residential home in southern Israel was hit by a rocket fired from Gaza on Monday.
Thick black smoke was seen rising from the building after the rocket hit the building's storage room.
An Associated Press cameraman at the scene reported there were no apparent injuries from the strike.
Militants in the Hamas-controlled Gaza have launched nearly 1,000 rockets at Israel, while the Israeli military claims it has launched more than 1,300 airstrikes in the opposite direction, since the start of its offensive last week.
Israel began its campaign against the militants last Tuesday, saying it was responding to heavy rocket fire from the densely populated territory.
In all, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza has said that at least 175 people have been killed in Israeli air attacks, including dozens of civilians.
No Israelis have been killed as a result of Hamas rocket launches, in large part thanks to the success of Israeli military's `Iron Dome' air defence system in intercepting the missiles.
