According to the Israeli army, two rockets were again fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip. In villages near the embattled coastal strip, air-raid sirens sounded and residents had to rush to shelters. Both projectiles were intercepted.

There was no information about damage or casualties caused by falling debris. Rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip, which has been the scene of fierce fighting for more than a year, have recently become rather rare.

The war was triggered by the massacre by Palestinian terrorists from the coastal strip on October 7, 2023 in Israel, which left 1,200 dead and around 250 displaced. Since then, Israel has been fighting in the Gaza Strip, where, according to Palestinian figures, almost 45,000 people have been killed so far. The figures do not distinguish between fighters and civilians.
