It was the second such incident in as many weeks, coming after terrorists in Gaza fired a rocket at Israel on Feb. 1. That projectile was also downed by Iron Dome.
In late January, terrorists in the coastal enclave launched a barrage of rockets at Israeli communities, prompting retaliatory strikes against Hamas military assets.
The attack also comes on the heels of a terrorist attack in Jerusalem earlier in the day which left three people dead; Alter Shlomo Lederman, 20; Asher Menachem Paley, 8; and his brother, Yaakov Israel Paley, 6.
