IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Daniel Hagari said Tuesday regarding the IDF counteri-terrorism operation in Jenin that all but 10 terror targets were eliminated on the first day of the campaign. “We arrested about 128 wanted persons and nine terrorists who were involved in the fighting were eliminated.”
Just as this two-day operation ended, sirens were sounded Tuesday night in Sderot and in the communities near the Gaza Strip border. Locals reported hearing sounds of explosions in the area, which the IDF confirmed to be five rockets launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israeli territory. “The IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted all the rocket launches,” it said.
The City of Sderot reported that the remains of one of the rockets hit a home in the there. Thankfully, there were no injuries, but damage was caused to a wall in the home. The family members were in a protected space at the time of the rocket attack.
