Israel's missile defense successfully intercepted several projectiles. Others hit the Israeli border area. According to the Magen David Adom rescue service, one man was injured.

Even ten months after the terrorist attack on Israel by the Islamist Palestinian organization Hamas and the ground offensive launched by Israel soon afterwards, extremists are still firing rockets at Israel sporadically. Five rockets were fired towards the Israeli coastal town of Ashkelon, but did not cause any damage, the army announced on Sunday. According to media reports, the military assumes that the rockets were fired from the area of the city of Chan Junis, from which the army had previously withdrawn after an advance.
