Just before midnight Friday evening an Iron Dome anti-rocket battery shot down a Gazan rocket over the southern city of Ashkelon.
The Israeli Air Force reportedly struck a Hamas military training facility in the North of Gaza early Saturday morning in response to multiple rocket attacks from the coastal enclave the previous day.
Just before midnight Friday evening, an Iron Dome anti-rocket battery shot down a Gazan rocket over the southern city of Ashkelon.
There were no injuries or damages, the IDF said.
Warning sirens rang out across the city, sending residents fleeing for cover, before Iron Dome went into action. It was the second rocket attack by terrorists in Gaza within a few hours.
A Salafist organization affiliated with Islamic State calling itself "The Sheikh Omar Hadid Brigade" took responsibility for the rocket attack on Ashkelon after posting a statement on Twitter.
Earlier Friday, a Palestinian rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip exploded in Sderot, causing damage to a home and a nearby bus.
