Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had ordered a "strong response" after Hamas fired 10 rockets into Israel on Sunday.

It's the heaviest barrage for several months and comes weeks after Israel resumed its military campaign in Gaza.

About half of the rockets landed inside Israel with the remainder being shot down, the Israeli military said. One person was wounded by falling debris, Israeli medics said.

In Gaza, a Palestinian journalist was killed and nine others wounded when an air strike hit a tent used by local media in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, the Hamas Government Media Office and the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) said.
