Night of escalation in the south: The IDF confirmed on Wednesday morning that three launches were fired at Israeli territory, and they apparently fell in open areas near the city of Netivot. One child and another were wounded on their way to the commander.

The IDF reported that the Air Force attacked terrorist targets of the Hamas terrorist organization in the southern Gaza Strip. During the attack, a site was used to manufacture weapons used by the military wing of the Hamas terrorist organization.

It was also reported that the attack was carried out in response to high-altitude gunfire and explosion of explosives from the Gaza Strip to Israeli territory today.

The army said: "The IDF considers very rigidly any terrorist activity toward Israeli territory and is in high readiness for a variety of scenarios. The IDF will continue to act as necessary against attempts to harm Israeli civilians. The Hamas terrorist organization is responsible for what is happening in and out of the Gaza Strip, and it will have consequences for the terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens.

Shortly after midnight, a red color alarm sounded in the southern settlements and the Gaza envelope, after several launches from Gaza towards Israel were apparently carried out. The alarm sounded in obscurity, in Netivot and in the chain. An IDF spokesman said that a warning was issued in the city of Netivot and in the Gaza area.

Haim Statel, a resident of Netivot whose son fell while running into the protected area, said: "I couldn't even get into the dimension, I wanted to hug the boy who got up in a mad panic. God bless, everything is fine, ”he said.

Earlier, and during most of the day, bundles of incendiary and explosive balloons were launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israel. At noon (Tuesday), residents of the city of Sderot reported three strong explosions, which were likely due to explosive explosives. In addition, there was a suspicion of an explosion landing in the agricultural fields of Kibbutz Kfar Gaza.

It appears that the security escalation trend in the southern sector continues, after yesterday and Sunday, firebombing and explosive balloons continued from the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian media reports that the explosive balloons of the al-Nasser's descendants, affiliated with the Popular Resistance Committees' terrorist organization, operate today at "100 percent," and fired dozens of explosive bullets from the Gaza Strip into Israel during the afternoon.
