The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, launched a barrage of rockets targeting Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip, specifically Sderot and Meflasim. This incident was confirmed by the Israeli Home Front Command, which reported sirens sounding in these areas due to the rocket fire. Channel 12 Israel indicated that two rockets were fired towards Sderot, and investigations were underway to determine if they landed in populated areas. The Israeli army stated that the rockets fell in an open area, resulting in no reported injuries or damage.
The ongoing conflict has seen the Israeli army conducting military operations in northern Gaza, particularly in Jabalia, as part of efforts to prevent Hamas from regaining strength following a series of violent clashes since October 6. This recent escalation is part of a broader military campaign that has reportedly resulted in over 145,000 casualties and significant destruction in the region, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
The situation remains tense as the Israeli military continues its operations, with full support from the United States, leading to widespread devastation and loss of life in Gaza.
