Jerusalem (CNN) -- The patter of rockets from Gaza into Israel continued Wednesday, according to Israeli authorities. And an al-Qaeda linked group claimed responsibility for launches that occurred a day earlier. The steady drip of projectiles has irked the Jewish state, which Tuesday conducted its first airstrikes into the Palestinian territory since the cease-fire that ended eight days of raging hostilities in November. Two explosions outside of an Israeli city near Gaza led police bomb disposal experts on a search for new rockets Wednesday, said spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. "We found one rocket that landed in the entrance of Sderot without causing injury, no damage. Luckily it fell in an open area."
