Two Kassam rockets fired from the Gaza Strip landed in open areas in the Eshkol Regional Council in southern Israel on Friday. No injuries or damage were reported.
The remnants of a Grad missile were also discovered in the Be’er Tuvia Regional Council, near Ashdod. As security forces arrived at the scene Friday morning, it remained unclear when the missile had landed.

The latest round of Gaza-based attacks began Monday. Since then, more than 120 rockets and missiles have been fired into Israel.
