Two rockets launched from the central Gaza Strip at southern Israel were intercepted by air defenses a short while ago, the military says.

Sirens had sounded in Ashkelon and surrounding towns near the Gaza border amid the attack.

There are no reports of injuries or damage.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group takes responsibility for the rocket fire.
