Air raid sirens sounded on Tuesday night after at least one rocket fired from the Gaza Strip landed in southern Israel, police said.
There were no reports of damage or injuries. The remnants of one rocket were found near the port city of Ashdod, about 20 km north of the Gaza Strip, an ambulance service spokesman said.
No group in the Gaza Strip had immediately taken responsibility for the firing.
Earlier reports by Israeli media said five rockets had been fired but it was later found that electronic sensors watching for firings may have given false readings.
Reports speculated that the rocket may have been an errant rocket that was not intentionally aimed at Israeli territory. Reuters
