The Israeli military said three projectiles have been launched from the Gaza Strip, setting off air raid sirens in southern Israel.
The military said two were intercepted by Israel's missile defense system Sunday evening, but did not disclose what happened to the third.
One projectile fell in wasteland, starting a fire, according to the Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council.
It was not immediately clear who fired the projectiles from Gaza. Palestinian armed factions have stepped up launches in recent days, frustrated by the ongoing Israeli-Egyptian blockade on Gaza.
But Iran-backed factions in Gaza also fire rockets, and Sunday's launches could be in response to the Israeli airstrikes in Syria.
