On Monday, the IDF said that a rocket had been launched from the Gaza Strip toward Israel. According to the IDF, "no injuries were reported" following the launch.
The incident is part of the ongoing escalation of tensions between Israel and Palestine caused by the recent decision of the United States to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
