The Israeli army has detected and intercepted three rockets fired from northern Gaza, targeting the Sderot area. In response, the Israeli Air Force conducted retaliatory strikes on the source of the rocket fire, according to military sources.
Northern Gaza has seen repeated military activity, with Israeli forces returning to areas from which they had previously withdrawn, claiming to have dismantled Hamas’s military capabilities. Despite these assertions, the persistent fighting in Gaza’s northern districts underscores the continued instability and lack of complete control over the region.
This latest exchange of fire comes a week after Israeli forces invaded the Shujayea neighborhood in Gaza City. The intense military operations in Shujayea, a densely populated area, have led to significant destruction and civilian casualties, drawing international concern and condemnation.
The ongoing conflict in Gaza is part of a larger, protracted struggle between Israel and Palestinian factions, primarily Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip. The recent escalations follow a series of incidents, including increased tensions over Israeli settlement expansions in the West Bank and the eviction of Palestinian families in East Jerusalem. These actions have sparked widespread protests and violent confrontations, further fueling the cycle of retaliation.
