Five rockets were launched from the northern Gaza Strip at the southern city of Sderot a short while ago, the military says.

According to the IDF, two rockets were intercepted, while the other three apparently struck open areas.

There are no immediate reports of injuries or major damage.

It marks the third day in a row of rocket attacks from Gaza, as the IDF presses on with a ground offensive against Hamas in the Strip’s far north.
