Israel Police said one of the rockets hit a community in the region and the second rocket fell in an open area. No injuries were reported, but a building did sustain damage.

Police were on their way to the scene.

Earlier in the week, Palestinian terrorists fired a salvo of rockets from Gaza at southern Israel. Two of the rockets were intercepted over the city of Ashkelon by an Iron Dome anti-rocket battery.
