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.

The state was listed as one of 21, including the District of Columbia, that said that the Trump administration is unfairly going after the Ivy.
The sides finalized plans to expand pilot zones in southern Lebanon as part of a U.S.-brokered framework aimed at restoring Lebanese sovereignty and disarming Hezbollah, the official said.
“I don’t know who he went through,” the board told JNS. “He didn’t go through us.”
The Board of Peace envoy said that Israel would not be required to withdraw from the Strip until Hamas disarms.
