CAIRO (Reuters) -The Israeli military said on Wednesday that two projectile launches that crossed from the northern Gaza strip were intercepted, shortly after it reported sirens in Nir Am and Sderot in southern Israel.

The Al Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, said shortly after that it fired rockets towards Sderot, Nir Am and areas near Gaza.
