Sirens blare in Ashdod as barrage of rockets fired
Rocket sirens sound in Ashdod and nearby communities, as TV footage shows a barrage of rockets fired from Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces says some 20 rockets were fired from Lebanon at northern Israel, setting off sirens in the Galilee and Golan.
It says troops are responding with artillery fire toward the sources of the rocket fire.
Air raid alarms blare in Golan, Galilee
Rocket alerts are sounding in several communities in the Golan Heights and the northern Galilee.
Aerial defense forces intercepted a “suspicious aerial target” detected on the Lebanese border before it entered into Israeli airspace, the military says.
In addition, an IDF post near the Bedouin village of Aramsha in the Western Galilee sustained gunfire, according to a military statement. Troops responded with artillery fire at the source of the gunfire in Lebanese territory.
The Israeli military posts a short clip of what appears to be hundreds of Gazan residents, some with their arms raised and some carrying white flags, moving on foot toward the southern part of the Palestinian enclave via the Strip’s north-to-south Salah a-Din road.
The IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson Avichay Adraee posts the short clip on X.
Adraee writes that the IDF was again opening up a humanitarian corridor for Palestinians to evacuate and made another call for Gazans to evacuate the northern part of the Strip and head south.
Adraee announces the Salah a-Din road will be open for Palestinians to evacuate to southern Gaza between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. today.
“If you care about yourself and your loved ones, head south according to our instructions. Rest assured that Hamas leaders have already taken care of themselves,” he says.
IDF: Troops capture Hamas redoubt, strike terrorists hiding near Gaza City hospital
Israeli soldiers took control of a Hamas military stronghold in the heart of Gaza City and struck terror operatives barricading themselves near a hospital, the Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday, as the military continued to deepen and expand its ground offensive in the Gaza Strip.
Days after surrounding Gaza City and saying the Strip had been cut in half, troops appeared to be concentrating efforts on capturing command and control centers and flushing Hamas members from hideouts on the outskirts of the crowded city, some of which the army charges are near or under the enclave’s overstretched hospitals.
Residents in northern Gaza reported heavy battles overnight into Tuesday morning in the city’s outer areas. The Shati refugee camp, a built-up district on Gaza City’s northern coast, has been heavily bombarded from the air and sea over the past two days, residents said.
Near Al-Quds Hospital in the Shejaiya neighborhood in the city’s east, the military said it found a number of Hamas gunmen barricaded inside a building planning to attack troops. An aerial attack was directed at the site, which led to “significant secondary explosions” that indicated the presence of a weapons depot, the IDF said.
Reports Monday night also indicated fighting was nearing Shifa Hospital, the Strip’s largest medical center — which Jerusalem says is located above Hamas’s central command center.
