Documentation of the IDF attack in the northern Gaza Strip
Concurrent with the attack by the Air Force in the Gaza Strip, there are reports of a number of explosives that landed in Sderot. Police terrorists are at the scene and are handling a suspicious object that was attached to several balloons and landed in one of the city's neighborhoods. According to some reports, this is a pipe charge.
Remember, today in the afternoon, a red color alarm sounded in the Gaza envelope, in Sa'ad communities, Gaza village and Nahal Oz, with no casualties or damage. An IDF spokesman said that "four launches were detected from the Gaza Strip to Israel - two were intercepted." According to Israeli and Gaza Islamic Jihad, and not Hamas, it was the shooting.
It should be noted that during these and upcoming hours, an experiment will be conducted in the Eshkol Regional Council, during which the explosions may be heard due to IDF controlled activity. The experiment was planned in advance.
Following the launches from Gaza; A senior official in Gaza today confirmed to Israel that Hamas is not behind the launches and that these are the Palestinian Islamic Jihad military operatives who carried out the attacks in an attempt to undermine regulation efforts, which are led by Egyptian intelligence mediators.
According to the Palestinian official, in the Gaza armed groups, led by the Islamic Jihad, there is much opposition to the indirect contacts between Egypt and Hamas in the Gaza Strip in the process of launching a rocket and launching rockets into Israel this afternoon.
As well as violent provocations by Palestinian activists near the border fence in the Gaza Strip, the aim is to escalate the security situation and curb the regularization efforts.
