Israel Air Force strikes Gaza launcher, causing rocket to fire
The Israeli Air Force on Saturday struck the rocket launchers in Gaza that were used to fire rockets at the Jerusalem, Yehuda, Western Negev, Lachish, HaShfela, and Yarkon areas of Israel earlier that day, the IDF stated on Sunday morning.
The IAF struck a launcher containing a rocket that was ready to be fired, causing the rocket to be launched. The military did not note how far or where the rocket subsequently traveled or if it caused damage within Israeli territory or Gaza.
On Saturday, the IDF intercepted two rockets fired from Gaza over Israeli airspace before they reached their destination.
The military noted they had been fired from Gaza’s Beit Hanoun area.
Alerts followed concern of falling rocket debris
“The widespread alerts stemmed from concerns over interception debris,” military officials stated.
