A rocket fired Monday night at Israel from the Gaza Strip was intercepted by the missile defense system, the Israeli army said.
“Sirens sounded in the area near the Gaza Strip.
A rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory and was intercepted by the Iron Dome defense system,” the army said in a statement.
This new rocket attack has not been claimed but comes after a series of attacks in Israel, two of which were perpetrated by Palestinians, "counterterrorism" operations in the occupied West Bank, and a weekend of tension in the holy places in Jerusalem.
constant clashes
More than 150 Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli forces on Friday at the Jerusalem Mosque compound, the third holiest site in Islam, also considered the first holiest site in Judaism under its name of Temple Mount.
And on Sunday, new clashes broke out in and around this holy place that Jews had gone to visit, which was considered an affront by some Muslims.
And young Palestinians were arrested the same day after throwing stones at Israeli civilian buses near the scene.
