Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip fired two rockets at Israel just as the clock struck midnight on Thursday.
Israeli air defenses intercepted one of the rockets, with the other hitting an open field, the IDF said. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack, which caused no injuries or damage.
Hamas welcomed 2024 by firing a wave of rockets towards southern and central Israel. Just after midnight on Jan. 1, 2024, more than 20 rockets were launched at Israeli population centers, sending millions of people racing for shelter.
On Monday evening, Palestinian terrorists in Gaza fired three rockets at southern Israel. One rocket, which triggered sirens in the Israeli border kibbutz of Kissufim, struck an open area, the military said.
Just over two hours later, the Israeli Air Force intercepted two rockets launched from the northern Strip.
There were no reports of injuries or damage in the attacks.
On Sunday, Palestinian terrorists in northern Gaza fired five rockets at Israeli communities in the “Gaza Envelope,” the area near the coastal enclave.
Two rockets were intercepted, according to the Israel Defense Forces, with the others apparently striking open areas.
A day earlier, the IAF downed two rockets launched by Palestinian terrorists in northern Gaza towards Jerusalem. The attacks triggered air-raid sirens in the capital, the Western Negev and the Judean Foothills (the Shfela).
The IDF’s year-plus-long offensive against Hamas has greatly curbed rocket fire from the Strip, although Palestinian terrorists still intermittently target the Jewish state.
