The Times of Israel reports: The Iron Dome anti-missile defense system downed one of two rockets fired from Gaza toward Israel in the predawn hours of Sunday morning, the military said, hours after a ceasefire was due to go into effect to put an end to a flare-up between the Hamas terrorist group and Israel.
The rockets triggered warning sirens across the Eshkol Regional Council bordering on the Gaza Strip, sending tens of thousands of residents running for bomb shelters in the second night of repeated missile attacks.

Two hours earlier, two mortar shells fired from Gaza struck southern Israel, causing neither injury nor damage. In response, the Israeli military said it “attacked the mortar from which the shells were launched.”
