A rocket launched from the Gaza Strip exploded in open territory near the Eshkol Regional Council on Friday around noon, the IDF confirmed.
The 'red alert' rocket siren was sounded in southern Israeli communities in the area, and residents reported of hearing explosions.
No injuries or damage were reported. During searches, security forces located fragments of the remains of the projectile in an open field.
The rocket landing marks the third such attack since the end of the summer conflict with Hamas.
The latest Gaza rocket landing in Israel came days after a European Union court ruled to remove Hamas from the EU's terror list.
While there were no claims of responsibility yet for Friday's projectile fire, former deputy defense minister Danny Danon said the incident served as subsequent proof to Europe that Gaza's ruling Islamist group is a terrorist organization.
"If anyone doubted this [Hamas' status as a terror group] then they received the answer now with the [rocket] fire," he said.
Danon also stressed that the Israeli government should respond to any violation of its sovereignty, and "not abandon the people of the South."
In late November, multiple rockets were launched from the coastal enclave into the Mediterranean Sea.
The IDF said the launches were estimated to be experiments conducted by Gaza terrorists to upgrade their weapon capabilities.
In October also, a number of Color Red rocket-warning sirens went off in Gaza border communities, sending residents fleeing for shelter for the first time since the end of the summer’s 50-day war with Hamas.
