The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed late Friday that one rocket was fired from Gaza towards Israel. No injuries have been reported, APA reports citing Sputnik News.
The confirmation comes nearly 30 minutes after air raid sirens were first heard in southern Israel. The Times of Israel reported that the sirens were initiated in Nir Yitzhak and Sufa, two communities located near the Gaza Strip.
According to the Times, the strike comes after Hamas threatened to avenge the death of Mahmoud Ahmad Sabri al-Adham, one of its members who was killed Thursday by IDF soldiers. The deadly incident was later characterized by the IDF as a "misunderstanding" after it was determined that al-Adham was wrongly identified by an IDF service member as a armed terrorist.
