Air-raid sirens sounded in Kissufim on Israel’s southern border at 8 p.m. Saturday before two projectiles fired from Gaza into Israeli territory were intercepted by the Israeli Air Force, the IDF said.

No injuries or damage were reported.

The latest rocket attack from Gaza came as efforts were underway by mediators to reach a deal to release the remaining 50 hostages, living and dead, being held by Hamas and forge a truce in the Strip.

On Tuesday evening, the IAF intercepted a missile fired by Houthi terrorists in Yemen. The interception followed warning sirens that sounded in several areas across Israel.

Less than 30 minutes earlier, Palestinian terrorists fired two rockets from the southern Gaza Strip, both of which were intercepted after air-raid sirens sounded in communities near the border.

According to the IDF, the projectiles crossed into Israeli territory before being intercepted. Again, no injuries or damage were reported.

The two discussed bilateral ties, regional developments and “the importance of combating antisemitism,” according to Gideon Sa’ar.
The projectiles hit adjacent to troops operating south of the Lebanon ceasefire line.
Beyond the political dance vis-à-vis the Gaza Board Of Peace, the elections represent the latest maneuver in a factional struggle that has defined Palestinian politics since the violent 2007 Fatah-Hamas split.
U.S. Ambassador: “Honored to stand with the Jewish community of Liège as they reclaim this sacred place.”
“We have an additional series of targets ready to be struck,” the military chief said.
