Earlier this week, a projectile fired from Gaza hit an open area at Hof Ashkelon Regional Council, however, Israel did not immediately retaliated. The latest armed conflict between Israel and Hamas, an Islamist political and militant group which has been governing the enclave since 2007, took place in 2014. However, the Hamas militants continue firing rockets against Israel, while Israel is targeting Hamas positions in response.
