The IDF is investigating reports of a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip at southern Israel.
Palestinian media reports say one projectile was launched from central Gaza.
It is unclear if the rocket landed in Israeli territory or fell short and landed inside Gaza.
No incoming rocket sirens have sounded in Israel.
Tensions have spiked between Israel and the Palestinians due to National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s visit to the flashpoint Temple Mount this morning.
The Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group had warned beforehand that a visit by Ben Gvir to the site would be a “detonator” and vowed resistance.
Ben Gvir and his party have repeatedly dismissed Hamas threats.
