Gaza militants fire rocket towards Israel

A rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israel but was intercepted, a military spokesperson said.

“One rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory on Sunday evening. The rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome Air Defense System,” Xinhua news agency quoted the spokesperson as saying.

The rocket triggered sirens in the southern city of Sderot and the area near the coastal Palestinian enclave.

No group immediately assumed responsibility for the attack.

Militants in Gaza also fired rockets at southern Israel on September 10-11, while Israel carried out nightly airstrikes against Hamas sites, saying the strikes were in response.
