The Times of Israel:
The Iron Dome missile fired on Wednesday night to intercept an incoming rocket from the Gaza Strip was redirected after it became apparent the projectile was headed for an open field and did not represent a threat to human life, the army said.
Shortly after 11 p.m. on Wednesday, a rocket was launched at southern Israel from Gaza, triggering sirens in a number of communities in the Eshkol region, ending a week-long stretch of relative calm in the coastal enclave.
An interceptor missile was launched from a nearby Iron Dome air defense battery. However, it was called off after air defense units calculated that the incoming rocket was heading toward an open field.
