Jerusalem (CNN) Israel launched strikes against Hamas targets in Gaza on Monday evening, hours after a rocket fired from the coastal strip hit a home in central Israel.

The rocket landed in the village of Mishmeret about 25 kilometers (about 15 miles) north of Tel Aviv on Monday morning, the furthest distance a rocket has been fired into Israel since the 2014 war fought between Israel and Hamas. Israel's military said Hamas, the militant group in control of Gaza, was behind the rocket fire.

Seven people were wounded in the incident, including a woman in her sixties who suffered blast injuries, minor burns and shrapnel wounds. A 12-year old girl and two infants also received shrapnel wounds, according to Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel's emergency response team, in a statement.

The rocket had a range of 75 miles and was manufactured inside Gaza by Hamas, said Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokeswoman Mika Lipshitz. She would not comment on whether the rocket was fired intentionally or unintentionally.

Several people were wounded after the rocket hit the house, authorities said.

The IDF responded with bombing raids on Monday night, saying in a statement they hit the office of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, the office of Hamas' interior security apparatus, and a building used by Hamas' intelligence units.
