Gaza rocket impacts near Kibbutz Nir Am; missile fired at IAF helicopter shot down by Iron Dome

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

According to the military, one of the rockets impacted near Kibbutz Nir Am, while another hit an open area.

There are no injuries in the attack.

Meanwhile, military sources say that the sirens earlier today in Be’eri were triggered by a surface-to-air missile launched at an Israeli Air Force helicopter over Gaza.

The shoulder-launched missile was fired by a terror operative in the Bureij area of central Gaza.

IDF sources say that the missile did not come close to hitting the helicopter, and it was successfully shot down by the Iron Dome air defense system.

Sirens had sounded in Be’eri because of the trajectory of the anti-aircraft missile.
