JERUSALEM (CNN) -- A rocket fired by Palestinian militants in Gaza on Thursday struck near a synagogue in the Israeli town of Sderot, injuring a woman and damaging a home, an Israel Defense Forces spokeswoman said.
The rocket was one of at least five that hit the area Thursday, the spokeswoman said.
It came a day after Sderot's mayor, Eli Moyal, resigned, saying he could no longer function under the constant bombardment of rockets.
He said he hoped his resignation would move Israel's government to take stronger military action to defend residents of Sderot.
The town near the Gaza border is the main target of rocket attacks, which the Israeli military estimates happen every three hours, on average.
