The Israeli Air Force intercepted two rockets fired by Palestinian terrorists from the Gaza Strip on Wednesday evening, the military confirmed.

The attack triggered air-raid sirens in the border communities of Sderot and Ibim.

There were no reports of injuries or damage.

Terrorists also fired two rockets from the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, both of which were intercepted after sirens sounded in communities near the border, the IDF said.

According to the military, the projectiles crossed into Israeli territory before being successfully downed. No injuries or damage were reported.
