Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday fired a rocket toward southern Israel on the second anniversary of Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, which this year coincides with the Sukkot holiday.

The projectile, which triggered air-raid sirens in Netiv HaAsara, “most likely” landed within the border community but caused no injuries, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Last Wednesday, as Jews marked Yom Kippur, terrorists in Gaza launched five rockets at Israel.

Four were intercepted, while the fifth landed in an open area, the IDF said.

The barrage set off air-raid sirens in the Lakhish region of south-central Israel, including in Ashdod.

No casualties or damage were reported.

Hours earlier, the IDF said the Air Force had likely intercepted two additional rockets fired from northern Gaza.

Air-raid alerts sounded in several border communities, including Kfar Aza, Sa’ad, Mefalsim, and the Nir Am Shooting Range.
