The Israeli army announced that two rockets were fired at Israel from the besieged Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, one of which was intercepted. So far, none of the Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip have claimed the two rockets.
The second missile landed on the city of Ashdod, between the Gaza Strip and Tel Aviv, according to local ambulance services, which reported that at least two people were slightly injured.
Witnesses in the Gaza Strip reported that at least one missile was fired from the north of the area towards Israel.
Hamas stepped up its launch of incendiary balloons and rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel in August. The Jewish state responded, in particular, with night airstrikes on sites of armed movements.
However, in early September, the two sides reached an agreement, mediated by Qatar, to reactivate a fragile truce that has been in place for a year and a half.
Hamas, which has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007, and the Palestinian Authority condemned the normalization agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
Demonstrations were held in the occupied Palestinian territories on Tuesday to reject the two agreements.
