Rocket alert sirens sounded in Ashkelon and in Israeli communities near the Gaza border on Sunday, despite a ceasefire reached the day prior with the enclave’s Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).
A spokesperson for Israel’s army (IDF) said there was one launch detected from the Gaza Strip into Israel, but it fell in an open area. There was no Iron Dome interception, and according to security sources, the rocket exploded before touching the ground.
A Gaza source was quoted by Al Jazeera as saying the rocket launch was the result of a “technical deficit” and the “resistance confirms its commitment to the ceasefire.”
But an Israeli security source said Israel has already begun targeting Hamas positions in retaliatory strikes on Gaza.
Earlier on Sunday, a senior IDF officer spoke with i24NEWS about the possibility of an attack from Gaza’s ruling terror faction Hamas: “The more you talk about it, the greater the [likelihood of the] event becomes, without limiting the capacity of our enemies.”
