The two missiles were intercepted, according to the Israeli military. There have been no reports of casualties or damage so far. Rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip, which has been the scene of fierce fighting for more than a year, have become rare in recent months.

In the greater Jerusalem area, among others, the warning sirens had recently been wailing in the night - due to a rocket attack by the Houthi from Yemen. Since the beginning of the Gaza war, the militia has repeatedly fired missiles at Israel in solidarity with Hamas.
