Multiple Rockets Strike Near Israeli Towns, IAF Strikes Hamas Terror Targets In Gaza




At least four rockets strike Israeli towns near Gaza border - Arab-Israeli Conflict



The Israeli military confirmed late Friday that at least four rockets fired by Palestinians in Gaza landed in communities near the border.

Just moments earlier, rocket sirens sounded in Israeli towns adjacent to the border with the Gaza Strip. The sirens were heard in Sderot and the Sha'ar Hanegev regional council. 

Authorities are still searching the area for signs of a rocket or missile. In all likelihood, the rockets landed in open fields. No injuries have been reported.

The last time rocket sirens were activated along the Gaza frontier was in late January, when terrorists fired a rocket at southern Israel, triggering warning sirens in the Sha'ar Hanegev region on Sunday night. 

The rocket exploded in an open area, failing to cause injuries and there was no damage, the army said.

According to the military, the incident seemed to encompass a single rocket launching. 

On January 1, five rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip at southern Israel, with two of the projectiles landing in Israeli territory. Three other rockets landed near the security fence inside the coastal Palestinian enclave.

In retaliation to the barrage, the Israel Air Force struck four Hamas targets in Gaza.






The Israel Air Force struck multiple Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip in the early hours of Saturday in retaliation for four Gazan rockets fired into the South of Israel.

The rockets set off warning sirens throughout the Sderot and the Sha'ar Hanegev regional council, sending local residents fleeing for cover. They exploded in an open area in the Sha’ar Hanegev region.

In response to the rocket attack, the IDF Spokesperson Office said :"The IDF holds the Hamas terrorist organization responsible for the Gaza Strip and will continue to work seriously in order to keep the peace in the southern localities."

Authorities are still searching the area for signs of a rocket or missile.  No injuries have been reported.

The last time rocket sirens were activated along the Gaza frontier was in late January, when terrorists fired a rocket at southern Israel, triggering warning sirens in the Sha'ar Hanegev region on Sunday night. 

On December 17, terrorists in Gaza fired a rocket at southern Israel, triggering warning sirens around Miflasim, which is close to the border with northern Gaza. The rocket exploded in an open area and did not cause any injuries.
