After seven months of calm, a rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israeli territory at 20:31 tonight.
Sirens sounded in the Israeli settlements of Ayn a'Shlosa and Kisufim. No property damage or injuries were reported, Israeli authorities said. The rocket was neutralized by the Iron Dome anti-missile system.
Although no organization claimed responsibility
for the launch, Israeli sources said the rocket was fired from an area controlled by Islamic Jihad.
According to reports in Gaza, the Hamas and Islamic Jihad organizations have already evacuated their administrative facilities in anticipation of a possible Israeli response. The Israeli army's radio station announced that it is reinforcing its anti-missile mechanism in southern Israel
