The terrorist factions in the Gaza Strip fired two rockets at Ashdod and Ashkelon shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday evening, just as representatives of Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain were poised to ink the historic Abraham Accords at the White House. 

Two Israelis were treated for injuries in Ashdod after one of the two rockets evaded the Iron Dome defense system and exploded near a shopping center. A 62-year-old man was in moderate condition with shrapnel wounds to his upper body. A 28-year-old man sustained minor injuries to his legs from flying glass. Another four residents were treated for shock. Magen David Adom and police responders were on the scene, where heavy damage was reported.

Another rocket fired at Ashkelon was intercepted successfully, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit reported. 

Tuesday's rocket fire comes barely two weeks after Hamas announced that it had reached an agreement through international mediators to end the latest round of cross-border violence with Israel.

Under the deal, Hamas halted launches of explosives-laden balloons and rocket fire into Israel, while Israel said it will ease restrictions that have been tightened in recent weeks.

As a result of indirect mediation efforts led by Egypt, the United Nations and Qatar, Hamas said "several projects will be announced to serve our people in Gaza Strip and contribute in mitigating" difficult living conditions.

Its statement didn't detail any of the projects but it said conditions would return to "what they were before the escalation."

Ceasefire notwithstanding, Hamas and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party struck a deal last week for "joint resistance" against Israel.
