“Code Red” warning sirens sounded in Ashkelon and surrounding areas early Wednesday morning, an IDF spokesperson confirmed.
Shortly after the sirens went off, three rockets fell in open areas, landing in Palestinian areas, Israel Radio reported.
The rocket attack marks the first time Palestinian terrorists in Gaza have attempted to strike Israel for nearly two months.
No damage or injuries were reported.
The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) ordered the closure of the Kerem Shalom border crossing between Gaza and Israel.
About 20 rockets have been fired by militant groups this year. Several rockets were fired during US President Barack Obama’s visit in March.
