(Bloomberg) -- Gaza Strip militants fired a rocket at Israel on Monday, the first since an 11-day conflict ended in May.
The rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system, the air force said on Twitter.
While there’s been no rocket fire since May, incendiary balloons have been launched into Israel from the Hamas-ruled territory, setting off multiple fires and drawing retaliatory air strikes from Israel.
