An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an that early Monday morning, sirens went off in the Shaar Hanegev area of southern Israel which borders the north eastern Gaza Strip, alerting the residents of the area that a rocket had been fired in their direction.
No rockets hit Israeli territory, the spokesperson added, and “in response to the rocket fire, Israeli air forces targeted a Hamas military post in the northern Gaza Strip.”
