On 5 April 2023, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad fired 18 rockets from the Gaza Strip toward localities in southern Israel, causing sirens to sound in Erez, Niram, Sderot (Ashqelon, HaDarom), and other nearby locations. One rocket hit a factory in Sderot, causing material damages. The rocket fire was presumably in response to the recent clashes at Al Aqsa Mosque.
