Militants in Gaza fired two rockets at Tel Aviv late Thursday, the Israeli Defense Forces said, the first time the city has been targeted since 2014.

The rockets landed in an open area, and no one was hurt, the IDF said. In response, Israel launched airstrikes in Gaza, hitting Khan Younis, a town 15 miles south of Gaza City. The IDF said it's targeting "terror sites," CBS News reports.

Palestinian media says that a Hamas naval base was hit, but no injuries have been reported. No organization has claimed responsibility for the Tel Aviv attack.
