The IDF confirms one long-range rocket was launched from the northern Gaza Strip at southern Israel a short while ago.

The military says it launched an interceptor missile at the rocket, but the results of the interception are still under investigation.

There are no reports of injuries in the attack.

Sirens did not sound in any towns, but an alert was activated at the Haterzim Airbase near Beersheba over possible falling shrapnel following the interception attempt.
