Four Grad missiles were fired from north Gaza Strip into the Hof Ashkelon Regional council in south Israel on Tuesday evening, Israeli military spokesperson said.
The Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted two of these rockets, the spokesperson told Israel radio.
Alarm sirens went off in Ashkelon shortly after the missile were fired, the spokesperson said, noting that no Palestinian group claimed responsibility for the attack so far.
The Israeli Air Force conducted reconnaissance sorties over north Gaza Strip today while the Palestinian security forces continued evacuating their premises across the Strip in anticipation of Israeli air attacks.
