Israeli air defenses intercepted a rocket launched toward the Jewish state’s southern communities from Gaza on Sunday morning.
The attack triggered air-raid alerts in Moshav Shtulim and Nitzan, as well as in areas of the nearby city of Ashdod, sending up to 65,000 Israeli civilians running for bomb shelters.
Rockets from the Gaza Strip last targeted Ashdod five months ago.
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that “following the alerts activated a short time ago in the Lakhish and Ashdod areas, two launches were identified crossing from the northern Gaza Strip. The Air Force intercepted one target, and the second fell in an open area.”
No casualties were reported.
Israel’s Magen David Adom medical response group also stated that its emergency hotline did not receive calls regarding impacts or casualties.
On Sept. 7, Palestinian terrorists also fired two rockets at Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip. One projectile was intercepted by air defenses while the second hit in an open area near the border.
Air-raid sirens were activated in eight communities near the border, including in the city of Netivot, sending some 60,000 civilians scrambling for bomb shelters, according to the military’s Home Front Command.
It was the first time rockets were fired from the enclave in around three weeks, with the previous incident recorded on Aug. 17.
