The media cited illegal Israeli settlers as saying that they heard a large explosion and saw an Iron Dome missile being launched.
According to the media, no damage or casualties were reported.
It is noteworthy that last week, Israeli settlers in the Gaza envelope settlements reported hearing at least three explosions, at least one of which was due to the Israeli Iron Dome intercepting a rocket fired from Gaza over "Sderot".
"A rocket was launched from Gaza toward the city of Sderot, and it was intercepted by the Iron Dome," Israeli media said, citing an Israeli occupation military spokesperson.
