The Israeli occupation army announced, on Wednesday evening, that it had intercepted a rocket fired from the northern Gaza Strip towards the town of Ashkelon in the south.
In a statement on Twitter, he said that "after the alarms were activated in the Lachish area (near Ashkelon), the Israeli Air Force intercepted a single launch that penetrated from the northern Gaza Strip towards Israeli territory, without causing any casualties."
Shortly before that, the Israeli Home Front Command announced the activation of air raid sirens in Ashkelon.
The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, said in a statement on its Telegram channel that it "bombarded Ashdod and Ashkelon with a barrage of rockets in response to the Zionist massacres against our Palestinian people," without providing further details.
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation, with American support, has been committing genocidal crimes in Gaza, leaving more than 175,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands displaced.
The Israeli occupation has been besieging Gaza for 18 years. Approximately 1.5 million Palestinians, out of a population of approximately 2.4 million, have been rendered homeless after their homes were destroyed in the war of extermination. The Strip is suffering from famine due to Tel Aviv's closure of the crossings to humanitarian aid.
