2 rockets fired from Gaza Strip, says Tel Aviv

Militants in the Gaza Strip fired two rockets toward Israel on Monday, one of which was shot down by the country’s powerful missile defense system, the military said.

The army said the defense battery, known as the ‘Iron Dome’, intercepted one rocket above the city of Ashkelon. It said the military was searching for the second launched. No injuries were reported in the attack.

Since it went into operation in 2011, the Iron Dome system has shot down hundreds of rockets launched by Gaza militants.
