According to local media, the rockets set off Code Red sirens in several towns bordering Gaza on Wednesday night, including Askhelon and Netivot. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are assessing the damage, though no injuries have been reported as the two rockets landed in empty fields.

The incident follows another attack last week, when a rocket was fired into the Gan Yavne region in East Ashdod on Tuesday, the first attack since an August 26 ceasefire.
The rocket resulted in no injuries. Though there was no indication as to who was responsible for the attack, an army source said the IDF "views Hamas as being responsible for everything that occurs in the territory of Gaza."
The IDF launched attacks on Hamas infrastructure in Gaza in retaliation for those rockets.
