A rocket was fired towards Israeli territory, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said a short time ago. It is unclear whether it exploded in Israeli territory. Troops are searching the area.

Earlier, a siren was heard in the Sdot Negev Regional Council and Bnei Shimon Regional Council in southern Israel.
