Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip on Friday evening fired a rocket toward Israel, the Israeli military said.
Media reports indicated the rocket landed in Israeli territory, but in an uninhabited area. There were no reports of injuries or damage.
The rocket triggered warning sirens in the southern Gaza border communities of Holit and Sde Avraham, hours after the start of Shabbat.
The launch came a day after a rocket fired by Gaza-based terrorists struck a field northeast of the Strip. In response, IDF aircraft struck targets linked to the Hamas terror group, which rules Gaza.
The targets included an armaments production facility, a tunnel for smuggling weaponry and a Hamas military post, according to the IDF.
The attacks came during a general lull in violence from the Gaza Strip in recent months, amid a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and as Gaza grapples with the coronavirus pandemic.
Last month, a rocket was fired toward Beersheba as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a campaign stop in the southern city ahead of the March 23 elections.
