Israeli police say three Israelis have been killed in a rocket attack from Gaza against southern Israel.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says Thursday's attack struck an apartment building.

The attack is likely to exact a harsh response from Israel as it wages an offensive against militants in the Hamas-ruled Palestinian territory.
