2 Rockets Fired From Gaza At Southern And Central Israel, Army Says

Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip fired two rockets at southern and central Israel in the predawn hours of Sunday morning, the Israel Defense Forces said. Both rockets struck open areas along the coast — one near the city of Ashdod and the other on Palmachim Beach, south of Tel Aviv — causing no significant damage or injuries.

Soldiers operating the Iron Dome air defense system attempted to shoot down the rocket fired toward Palmachim Beach “in accordance with policy,” the military said, firing at least two interceptor missiles at the projectile, but did not shoot it down. Fragments of an interceptor missile landed in the nearby city of Bat Yam, causing minor damage. This exchange triggered sirens in northern Ashdod and in the community of Kibbutz Palmachim just after 2 a.m. Sunday. -Full Report
