What happened: Last night another five rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israel, as rioting also continued in Jerusalem.
In the south, the Iron Dome anti-missile defence system intercepted two rockets as the others fell either in uninhabited areas or inside the Gaza Strip.
In Sderot, four people sustained light injuries when they ran to shelter, including a heavily pregnant woman.
In response to the rocket fire, Israel decided to close the fishing zone around the Gaza Strip until further notice.
In East Jerusalem rioting continued last night. Hundreds of people demonstrated at Damascus Gate and at other points in the city. Seventeen people were arrested for public disturbances, attacking police officers, throwing stones and firebombs and other violent activity. The police also arrested three people for allegedly assaulting undercover police detectives near Jaffa Gate who were disguised as ultra-Orthodox.
