A rocket was launched into Israel from the Gaza Strip on Friday, triggering sirens in Netiv Ha’asara on the Gaza’s northern border, according to the Israeli military.

No casualties or damage were reported.

The rocket attack was the second from Gaza this month.

On Sept. 15, terrorist groups in the Strip launched a 15-rocket barrage into Israel in response to the signing of the Abraham Accords between Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

“One has to wonder how that humble pie tastes for the Democrats today,” Sam Markstein of the Republican Jewish Coalition told JNS.
