Two rockets were launched towards the coast near Ashdod from the north of the Gaza strip, early Monday, the IDF reported on Twitter. No red alert sirens were sounded.
לפני זמן קצר, זוהו שני שיגורים מצפון רצועת עזה לעבר מרחב החוף באיזור אשדוד אשר לא הפעילו התרעה— צבא ההגנה לישראל (@idfonline) January 18, 2021
The rockets were fired from Beit Hanoun, Ynet news reported. The Iron Dome did not fire interceptors and no alarms were sounded because it was immediately apparent that the rockets’ trajectory would send them out to sea, where they fell, according to Ynet. The IDF is examining if Hamas or Islamic Jihad are responsible for the launch, Ynet reported.Just last week, the IDF responded to shots from Gaza directed at IDF operations on the Gaza-Israel border near Kibbutz Kissufim by striking Hamas guard posts twice.After shots were first fired from Gaza around 12 p.m. towards IDF engineering equipment, the IDF responded by striking a Hamas guard post. Shortly after, shots were fired again, and the IDF responded by striking two Hamas guard posts.
