The IDF attacked (first) targets of Islamic Jihad in the northern Gaza Strip this evening. According to Palestinian reports, it is the "Palestinian post" of Jihad in the northern Gaza Strip, used by the organization's Al Quds Brigades.

Palestinian sources report that after the attack on "Palestine", the IDF also attacked "Hatin" station in the northern Gaza Strip using missiles.



The attack comes as a response to the shooting of about 23 rockets launched into Israel this evening. "Red color" alarms were issued on Sunday (Sunday) in Ashkelon and in the Gaza Strip communities. 13 of the rockets were intercepted by Iron Dome fighters. The additional rockets landed in open areas, causing no damage or casualties.

Two women were evacuated to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon. The hospital said that "the first, 64, fell and was struck in the head while running to the protected area, and her condition is slightly defined. The second, 20, is impaired."

There were no injuries to the body." The Eshkol Regional Council reported falls outside the communities, with no damage and no injuries to the body.

As a result of the shootings in the south, the Ashkelon municipality decided to cancel schooling around the city tomorrow. The city spokeswoman said: "Following the rocket fire fired at Ashkelon, Mayor Tomer Glam ordered the opening of public shelters throughout the city. He also directed the cancellation of all activities and events at the community centers and the cultural center. The municipality of Sderot says that "no falls are reported at this time and there is no change in the army's guidelines for residents."

Sderot Municipality reported: "Following the alarms, Sderot Mayor Alon Davidi calls on residents to stay near protected areas." The mayor said: "Right now, there are no special guidelines from the security forces, but from past experience I recommend staying near protected areas. I will keep you updated with any new developments or guidelines. The municipal staff and the Resilience Center are ready to respond as needed."

Israeli House Speaker MK Avigdor Lieberman responded to the rocket strike on Israel on Twitter. "Only this week Israel allowed Hamas to pay tens of millions of dollars in protection fees. Hamas received the money, waited for the Qatari messenger to leave the Gaza Strip and immediately began firing. The slack policy and subjugation of terror led by the government is simply disgraceful and harms Israeli deterrence," wrote MK. Lieberman.

This morning, IDF forces identified two terrorists who approached the perimeter fence in the southern Gaza Strip, and placed an explosive device near it. The military force at the spot opposite the fire opened fire on the terrorists. An IDF spokesman reported that an attack was detected on terrorists operating near the perimeter fence. There were casualties among the forces at the event.

The incident began when the two terrorists were operating near the Gaza Strip fence and approaching the fence, north of Khan Yunis while riding a motorcycle, to place cargo on the fence. Gaza Division Observatory identifies both terrorists and the cargo-laying operation. Military force from pop-up battalion for the incident opened fire at the terrorists, believed to be part of a rogue squad in Palestinian Islamic Jihad, killing two of them.
