Iron Dome intercepts Gaza rockets in barrage fired at southern Israel
24.06.2014, Israel Palestinian terrorists fired several rockets from the Gaza Strip toward southern Israel on Tuesday evening.
The Iron Dome rocket defense system intercepted two rockets between Zikim and Ashkelon.
A third projectile launched from Gaza landed in open territory in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council.
The Code Red rocket siren was sounded in the southern communities, alerting citizens of the attacks.
No injuries or damages were reported.
The attack was the latest in a string of rocket launches from Gaza over the past week.
On Sunday morning, the Israel Air Force struck four sites in the Gaza Strip in response to rockets that were fired into Israel late Saturday night.
Security sources said in recent days that small jihadi organizations in Gaza had been behind the attacks.
The IAF struck five targets in Gaza early on Friday in response to a Palestinian rocket attack on Ashkelon that occurred on Thursday evening.
The targets included three underground rocket launchers in northern Gaza, one terrorist center in central Gaza, and a weapons storage facility in south Gaza.
