An Israeli vehicle was struck by gunfire from the Gaza Strip on Monday evening, according to an Israeli military statement.

Israeli media, meanwhile, has reported that scores of rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip into areas of southern Israel located adjacent to the Hamas-run coastal territory.

Israeli artillery units, meanwhile, have reportedly shelled concentrations of Palestinian activists near the Gaza-Israel buffer zone, although no casualties have yet been reported.

The Israeli army has yet to provide details on the incident.

No Palestinian group, meanwhile, has claimed responsibility for the rocket barrages.

Seven Palestinians were killed Sunday night, including a senior Hamas commander, when an Israeli military force staged an incursion into the southern Gaza Strip.

One Israeli soldier was reportedly killed and another injured in the raid.
