JERUSALEM – Two rockets were fired overnight into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army said today.
There were no immediate reports of any damage or people wounded.
One of the rockets activated sirens in the Israeli coastal town of Ashdod, 64km north of the Gaza Strip.
"Israel's Iron Dome defence system launched interceptors in accordance with standard operating procedures," a statement from the army said.
A military spokesman said two rockets had not been intercepted by the anti-missile system.
The rockets came down in uninhabited areas, according to Israeli media, although the army spokesman was unable to confirm this.
The strike comes days after the anniversary of the assassination of senior Islamic Jihad leader Baha Abu Al-Ata, killed in a strike on his home in Gaza City on November 12 last year. – AFP, November 15, 2020
