(JTA) — Israeli airstrikes destroyed a naval base in the Gaza Strip a day after a rocket from the Hamas-controlled enclave hit a school building in southern Israel.

The strikes Friday were on military facilities in southern Gaza, the Kan broadcaster reported. No casualties were reported as a result of the strikes.

The Israeli school hit Thursday, identified as a Jewish religious school, was damaged but no injuries were reported. It was reported to be empty at the time of impact and was fortified against rockets.

Early Thursday morning, a rocket was fired at a southern Israeli town on the border with Gaza. Iron Dome intercepted the rocket.
