Two rockets were fired from Gaza at about 10 p.m. on Thursday toward Ashkelon; the Code Red alarm system was sounded throughout Ashkelon.
One of the rockets was intercepted by Iron Dome.
A rocket was fired several hours earlier toward Sderot, but exploded in an open area, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
