IDF intercepts rare 2 long-range rockets fired from Gaza at Jerusalem area No injuries in attack, the second time this weekend that the capital was targeted, following an overnight missile from Yemen
Israeli air defenses on Saturday intercepted two rockets fired from Gaza’s Beit Hanoun toward the Jerusalem area, an increasingly rare occurrence after nearly 15 months of war.
On Sunday, five more rockets were launched from the northern Gaza Strip, this time at the southern city of Sderot, along the border with the enclave, one of the largest rocket attacks from Gaza in recent months.
According to the IDF two rockets were intercepted, while the other three apparently struck open areas.
Rocket attacks from Gaza have been rare at this stage of the war, after frequent barrages during and in the months after the Hamas terror group’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which started the war.
