Sirens in Ashkelon and Gaza border settlements

At 9:01 PM, rocket early warning sirens blared in Ashkelon, Zikim, Karmia, and Netiv HaAsara.

Preliminary reports indicate that at least one missile was fired from the Gaza Strip toward Israeli territory, but it was intercepted by the Iron Dome defense system.

The Islamic Jihad group has claimed responsibility for the rocket attack.

This marks the first rocket attack from Gaza since 10 a.m. on February 26.
