Terrorists fired three rockets from the Gaza Strip late Monday morning, with one scoring a direct hit in the southern Israeli border city of Sderot, causing minor damage to a home.

Another rocket was intercepted and the third projectile fell in an open area, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

There were no reports of injuries in the attack, which triggered sirens in the areas of Sderot, Ibim and Nir Am.

It was the tenth rocket attack from Gaza in the past 11 days, with Sunday being the only day without any launches.

Terrorists in the Gaza Strip on Saturday launched a rocket into Israel, setting off sirens in the southern communities of Kibbutz Erez and Netiv HaAsara. The rocket exploded near the Erez Crossing, not far from where humanitarian aid trucks pass into the Strip, according to the Israel Defense Forces. The impact caused damage at the crossing.
