0:40Now PlayingIsrael's military says its aerial defense system has intercepted one of two missiles fired from the Gaza Strip late Thursday.
The military did not clarify what happened to the second missile and there were no immediate reports of any casualties.
Earlier in the week the Israeli military said that militants in the Gaza Strip dug a tunnel dozens of meters (yards) deep that crossed under the security fence around the territory before it was detected by underground sensors.
Hours after the announcement, a rocket fired from Gaza was intercepted by Israeli missile defenses.
Late Tuesday, the army said fighter jets and attack helicopters "struck an underground infrastructure" for the militant Hamas group.
There were no reports of casualties in either attack.
Israel holds Hamas responsible for all attacks emanating from Gaza.
Israel and Hamas have clashed on a number of occasions since the 2014 war.
An informal ceasefire brokered by Egypt has brought calm in exchange for the easing of the blockade and the entry of financial aid from the oil rich Gulf state of Qatar, but fighting still erupts from time to time.
