Two rockets fired from Gaza at Israel's south were intercepted by the Iron Dome rocket defense system on Friday evening, hours after two Palestinian militants were killed in an Israel Air Force strike in the northern Gaza Strip.
Sirens went off minutes before in Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council, Hof Ashkelon Regional Council, and Eshkol Regional Council.
Four rockets launched from Gaza exploded in open areas, no injuries or damage were reported.
Also on Friday evening, a mortar shell landed near a military force not far from the Gaza security fence. The IDF said it returned fire to the source of the launch.
