The Red Alert incoming rocket siren activated in Nahal Oz, near the Gaza border.

A single rocket landed Saturday night in an open area of the Gaza Envelope in southern Israel, near the community of Nahal Oz.

The Iron Dome anti-missile system was not triggered by the launch, indicating the rocket was not headed to a populated area and thus posed no threat to people living in the area.
