Iran Press/ Middle East: Palestinian fighters in Gaza fired two rockets into southern Israel after Israeli airstrikes targeted several sites in besieged enclaved.
The Israeli military claimed that the Iron Dome missile system intercepted the two rockets that Hamas fighters in Gaza launched at southern Israel.
Zionist police said rocket fallout caused damage to a house in the town of Sderot, and paramedics treated a 58-year-old man for minor wounds from the exploding glass.
The Israeli army claimed that the strikes were a response to explosive balloons launched by Hamas-affiliated group over the border, and attempts by Palestinian protesters to throw explosives at the Israel-Gaza perimeter fence and soldiers stationed along with it.
Dozens of Palestinians took part in the protests. The Israeli military said the protesters “burned tires, hurled explosive devices and grenades towards the security fence and attempted to approach it.”
Gaza's Health Ministry said Israeli gunfire at protesters wounded two Palestinians.
Israeli War Minister Benny Gantz ordered the fishing zone off the coast of Gaza closed until further notice in response to the rocket fire.
