Red Alert sirens sounded across southern Israel early Wednesday evening, warning residents of an incoming rocket attack.
The sirens sounded in Sderot and Nir Am. Video and pictures on social media showed a single explosion over Sderot. The IDF confirmed that a single rocket was fired by terror groups in the Gaza Strip and that it was successfully intercepted by the Iron Dome defense system.
A woman in her 50s was lightly injured after falling over while running to a bomb shelter in Sderot, the Magen Dovid Adom medical service said. No other injuries or damage were reported.
The attack comes a day after Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited the region in an attempt to calm heightened tensions.

Another Biden fool. There is only one way to bring peace to the Middle East, and the blabbering about two-state baloney isn’t it. Nor is discussion about settlements relevant. One thing only. STOP TERROR. This can be accomplished with a few simple steps. One – all funding, even the fake label of “humanitarian”. The aid being given now finances the terror activity. What goes to their regimes is funneled into terror and the pay-to-kill missions. Two – support the eradication of all terror organizations. Yes, Hamas needs to be exterminated. Don’t waste my time with discussion about how this is cruel or overkill. A few other groups come to mind as well. And Israel, whichh should get direct support froom US, should encourage and fund the proactive stance to eradicate terror. But as long as we harbor terror supporters like Tlaib and Omar in our own government, the administration will never entertain the idea – the only way that we will approach peace.
Israel should be dragged into Hague!
