Three projectiles were launched from the southern Gaza Strip Monday toward Israeli border communities, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Two of the projectiles fell inside Gaza, while a third was intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory. Warning sirens were activated in accordance with protocol.

Hebrew media reported that the rockets were aimed at the Kissufim area. No injuries were reported.

On May 21, Israeli air defenses intercepted a rocket from Gaza that had been heading for Ashkelon, according to the IDF. In another recent incident, a rocket was downed over southern Israel after being launched by Palestinian terrorists in the Strip.
