Israel's Iron Dome anti-rocket system identified a rocket - or possibly a mortar shell - fired from the Gaza Strip into an open field in the Eshkol Regional Council near the border. No rocket alarm was sounded, and no damage was reported.

Military forces are looking for the projectile, which at this point could have been a rocket or a mortar shell. The IDF is also looking into who fired the projectile. This is the second time a projectile was fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel since the end of Operation Protective Edge, this summer.

"The quiet achieved in the south of the country is the product of continuous and strenuous work, and it could be interrupted at any time, IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz said at a military ceremony last Thursday.

The IDF would have to continue "keeping its eyes open in the different fronts, from Lebanon to the Golan Heights, to the West Bank, to Gaza," Gantz continued. "We remain alert and ready for action at any intensity needed."
