Israeli army claims two ‘projectiles’ launched from Gaza Strip

Palestinian Islamic Jihad fired two rockets toward Israel near the Gaza border, prompting sirens and shelter alerts for 60,000 residents, with no casualties reported, military said.

  • On Sunday, the Israeli army said two projectiles were launched from the Gaza Strip toward Israel; one was intercepted and the other fell in an open area, with Palestinian Islamic Jihad claiming responsibility.
  • Amid an expanded campaign, the IDF has intensified operations including airstrikes and leaflet drops urging evacuation in western neighbourhoods of Gaza City as it plans to occupy the area and dismantle Hamas.
  • Strikes have destroyed residential high-rises, including the 15-floor Soussi Tower and 7-story Al-Ruya building, displacing families while Human Rights Watch reports 90% of Gaza's infrastructure is destroyed, forcing nearly one million into shelters and causing nearly 64,400 deaths since Oct 7, 2023.
  • Air-Raid sirens sent residents in eight border communities, including Netivot, southern Israel, into shelters, forcing some 60,000 civilians to seek safety amid renewed fears of escalation.
  • Humanitarian agencies warn that evacuations in Gaza could worsen shortages as the IDF controls roughly 40% of Gaza City and faces legal scrutiny from ICC and ICJ.
