A car in the southern town of Shlomit, close to the border with Egypt was hit by gunfire earlier today.
The Israeli army says troops scanned the area, and determined the bullets were likely errant shots from Egypt.
Nobody was hurt in the incident.
The Egyptian army frequently shoots at drug smugglers and jihadist groups in the northern Sinai desert, sometimes resulting in accidental cross-border fire.
