Israeli media reported this evening, Wednesday, that sirens sounded in the town of Sderot and some settlements around the Gaza Strip.
For its part, the Israeli army announced - in a statement - that the sirens had been activated, and later explained that the Iron Dome "successfully responded to one missile" launched from the Gaza Strip.
Last week, the Israeli army announced the activation of warning sirens in the city of Ashkelon and some towns around the Gaza Strip, adding that the Iron Dome intercepted two missiles fired from the Strip, without causing any injuries or damage.
Following the initial report, one rocket was fired from Gaza toward Israel.
The rocket was intercepted by the IDF Aerial Defense Array.

The occupation fighters also launched intense raids targeting sites in the central Gaza Strip - last Friday - while the air defenses of the Palestinian resistance announced that they had confronted the Israeli planes with surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft missiles.
These developments come after the Israeli occupation forces launched a major military operation inside the city of Jenin and its camp in the West Bank last week, which resulted in the death of 10 Palestinians, including an elderly woman, and the injury of dozens, some of them in serious condition, and this was followed by two shooting attacks in Jerusalem, in which 7 Israelis were killed. .
In January, the Israeli occupation forces killed 35 Palestinians, including 8 children, while 224 Palestinians, including 61 children, were killed in the West Bank and Gaza in the past year 2022.
