On Tuesday night, a rocket from Gaza exploded in the Gan Yavne region shattering four weeks of quiet and setting off air raid sirens in the Ashdod and Lachish regions.

Apart from a 15-year-old girl who was taken to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashdod, suffering from a panic attack, the rocket failed to cause injuries, though emergency responders were still assessing on Tuesday whether the projectile had caused any damages.

Tuesday’s rocket was the first mid-range rocket attack since a cease-fire went into effect on August 26, 2014 following the month-and-a-half long war with Gaza known as Operation Protective Edge.
