The Times of Israel is reporting that for the first time since the truce began three weeks ago, a rocket or mortar has been fired at Israel from Gaza:

A projectile was fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israel on Tuesday evening, the IDF confirmed, the first since a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas on August 26.

The Red Alert rocket warning system did not sound and the IDF said it was searching for the impact point that was believed to be somewhere near the border fence in the Eshkol Regional Council.

Army Radio reported that Eshkol residents heard an explosion nearby.

No injuries or damage were reported.

However, Ynet reported that the rocket may have landed near the fence inside the Gaza Strip.

The fire came hours after Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said he did not think Hamas would resume rocket fire on Israel.
