Palestinian militants said Thursday they fired a rocket at an Israeli community, with the army confirming remnants of the projectile had been found in the northern occupied West Bank.
Firebrand Public Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir meanwhile visited the Al-Aqsa mosque compound to mark a Jewish day of mourning, though there did not appear to be a link between the two incidents.
A video published by a group calling itself the Ayyash Battalion claims to have fired a rocket at Ram-On, an Israeli town just north of the West Bank.
The army said that following the video their forces "located improvised rocket remnants adjacent to the town of Silat al-Harithiya," northwest of Jenin.
There were no reports of injuries or damages.
The launch took place as Jews marked Tisha B'av, the day when thousands of years ago, it is believed that both Jewish temples located on the Temple Mount -- currently the site of the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem -- were destroyed.
Ben-Gvir was among approximately 2,000 Jews visiting the Al-Aqsa compound Thursday, with 16 of them detained for "booing or chanting", Israeli activists and police said.
Jews are prohibited from praying at the site but allowed to visit, though clashes frequently erupt during such visits.
Israel occupied then annexed east Jerusalem -- which Palestinians view as the capital of a future state -- after the 1967 Six Day War.
The visit came amid heightened tensions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Thursday's rocket launch was the second time this month Palestinian militants in the West Bank have attempted to target Israelis.
On July 10, the army "located two tripods and two improvised rockets remnants adjacent to the community of Shaked", a settlement in the northern West Bank.
"The rockets did not pose a threat to civilians," a statement from the military said at the time.
