Rocket hits house north of Tel Aviv, Netanyahu to cut short trip to Washington

MISHMERET, Israel: A rocket from Gaza hit a house in a rare strike north of Tel Aviv on Monday , wounding seven Israelis and leading Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cut short a Washington trip while vowing a forceful response.

Netanyahu, currently in Washington, said he would return home after meeting US President Donald Trump later on Monday, cancelling an address to pro-Israel lobby AIPAC's annual conference on Tuesday. "I will meet President Trump in a few hours and just after that I will return to Israel to lead closely the operations," he said in a video released by his office.

But he faces a tough challenge from a centrist political alliance led by former military chief Benny Gantz and he was already coming under heavy political pressure to react firmly. Israel's military said they were launched by Hamas, but later there were Israeli media reports that the army's preliminary assessment was that they had been fired by mistake during maintenance work.
