Rocket fire from the Gaza Strip hit a building in Sderot.
The Associated Press reported that the building, hit Friday, was a kindergarten.
In response, Israeli combat aircraft hit components of Hamas’ infrastructure in Gaza, the army said in a statement Saturday.
No one was injured in the exchange. The kindergarten was empty at the time it was hit.
