Militants in the Gaza Strip fired five rockets at southern Israel early on Wednesday, all of which were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome aerial defense system.
The Israeli military confirmed in the statement that five launches from the Gaza Strip were identified, adding that the Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted all the rocket launches.
The rocket attack came amid a sharp escalation between Israelis and Palestinians.
On Monday, Israel launched its largest military campaign in the occupied West Bank in nearly 20 years, raiding the Jenin refugee camp.
According to Palestinian official figures, at least 12 Palestinians have been killed.
