Rocket fired from Gaza at southern Israel; IDF retaliates with strike
No injuries reported on Israeli side; cross-border fire comes after nearly a month of relative quiet, as Qatar-mediated truce mostly holds.
Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip fired a rocket at Israel late Monday, the army said, without reporting any casualties or damage.
Sirens sounded in areas of southern Israel neighboring Gaza to warn of the incoming fire, for which there was no claim of responsibility.
During the previous barrage last month, 15 rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel, one of which struck the city of Ashdod, injuring two people. Most of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome system, the Israel Defense Forces said.
That rocket-fire represented the first attacks since an unofficial ceasefire agreement was reached between Israel and terror groups in the Strip late August and the largest barrage since February. It drew retaliatory strikes from Israel.
