JERUSALEM The Israeli military says Gaza militants fired four rockets at southern Israel on the second day of President Obama's visit to the region.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says one rocket exploded in the courtyard of a house in the border town of Sderot, causing damage to the home but no injuries. The other landed in an open field.
The Jerusalem Post reports the third and fourth are said to have landed in the Gaza Strip.
Rocket alert sirens went off in Sderot before the rockets hit, the Post adds.
As a presidential candidate in 2008, Mr. Obama visited Sderot, which is frequently targeted by rocket attacks from the nearby Gaza Strip. The territory is ruled by the militant Palestinian group Hamas.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for Thursday's attack, which came as Mr. Obama was in Jerusalem.
He was to visit the West Bank city of Ramallah later in the day.
