A Kassam rocket fired from the Gaza Strip exploded in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council Monday afternoon.

Warning sirens sounded prior to the rocket landing.

Police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld confirmed that the rocket landed near a kibbutz in the area.

No injuries or damage were reported.

The South has experienced a relative calm for over a week since a tense ceasefire with Hamas was brokered.

Last Friday, two Grad rockets exploded separately in the cities of Ashkelon and Ashdod overnight.

No casualties or damages were reported.
