A 19-year-old man has been critically wounded in an explosion after a mortar attack from Gaza struck a bus in Israel.
Air raid sirens sounded throughout southern Israel and black smoke could be seen billowing into the air this afternoon from the area of the mortar strike.
Rockets were launched from Gaza toward Israel, one day after an Israeli undercover military raid in Gaza sparked fighting that left seven Palestinians and an Israeli officer dead.

Hamas's armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, announced a bombardment following funerals for their members killed during yesterday's fight.
'In response to yesterday's crime, the joint command of Palestinian factions announce the beginning of bombardment of the enemy's settlements with scores of rockets,' it said in a statement.
Israel reported at least 80 'launches' of rockets and mortars. The Iron Dome rocket defense system was deployed to protect against the incoming fire.
Yesterday's firefight saw an Israeli officer was killed and another was moderately wounded during an operation in southeast Gaza Strip involving an exchange of gunfire, the country's military confirmed this morning.
Hamas' armed wing said Israeli undercover forces in a civilian vehicle infiltrated about 2 miles into Gaza on Sunday and fatally shot Nour el-Deen Baraka, its local commander in Khan Younis town.
It said militants discovered the car and chased it down, and the resulting clashes killed an Israeli lieutenant colonel and prompted Israeli airstrikes and a salvo of rocket fire from Gaza toward Israel.
The empty vehicle apparently used by the Israeli force was reduced to a charred chassis after aircraft fired several missiles at it, leaving a gaping crater in the ground.
Israel's military later said the operation had ended.

The rare burst of violence last night, in which seven Palestinians were killed, came as Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers had appeared to be making progress toward ratcheting down months of border violence.
Just days ago, the two sides reached indirect understandings, backed by Qatar and Egypt, to allow cash and fuel into Gaza.
The understandings are meant to be part of a broader effort to alleviate deteriorating conditions in the impoverished territory after 11 years of an Israeli-Egyptian blockade.

A clash that erupted during an Israeli special forces operation in the Gaza Strip and killed eight people threatened on Monday to derail efforts to restore calm to the Palestinian enclave after months of unrest

The blockade has led to over 50 percent unemployment and chronic power outages, and prevents the vast majority of Gazans from traveling.
It was not clear if the burst of violence, which appeared to have subsided early Monday, would derail those arrangements.
Chanting 'revenge', thousands of mourners in the Gaza Strip, led by Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, held a funeral for the dead. Masked gunmen in uniforms carried the coffins, wrapped in the flag of Hamas' armed wing on Monday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cut short a trip to Paris because of the flare-up. He was set to meet French President Emmanuel Macron after having participated in ceremonies marking 100 years since the end of World War I.

Instead, he returned to Israel on Monday for consultations with top security officials.
In a tweet after his arrival back home, Netanyahu praised the slain officer, whose identity was being kept confidential for security reasons, and said 'our forces acted courageously.' The officer's funeral was being held Monday.
The ruling Hamas authorities beefed up security measures after the incident, deploying checkpoints across Gaza in a show of force after what appeared to be a major security breach.
It also restricted movement through crossings with Israel, preventing foreign journalists, local businessmen and some aid workers from leaving the territory.
The gun fight took place east of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian officials who said the undercover Israeli forces travelled in a civilian car.

Hamas also canceled a weekly beach protest in northwestern Gaza along the border with Israel. The organizers cited 'the ongoing security situation.'
The Israeli military provided few details about the reason for the raid. The military chief, Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot, said a 'special force' carried out 'a very meaningful operation to Israel's security,' without elaborating.
Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said the operation was 'not intended to kill or abduct terrorists but to strengthen Israeli security.' He said the force faced a 'very complex battle' and was able to 'ex-filtrate in its entirety.'
The overnight violence came after several months of confrontations along the Israel-Gaza perimeter fence. Since late March, Hamas has been leading mass marches, with turnout driven by growing despair in Gaza, to try to break the border blockade.

More than 170 demonstrators, most unarmed, have been killed by Israeli army fire in the confrontations, in which some of the participants threw stones, burned tires or hurled grenades toward Israeli forces.
Israel says it is defending its border against militant infiltrations, but its army has come under international criticism because of the large number of unarmed protesters who have been shot.
Last week, Israel allowed Qatar to deliver $15 million in aid to Gaza's cash-strapped Hamas rulers. Hamas responded by lowering the intensity of the border protest last Friday.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
