Hamas launched five rockets into Israel on the anniversary of the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks that started the war in Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces say.
The Israel Defense Forces announced Monday that multiple rockets were fired toward Israel from the Gaza Strip on the one-year anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack that launched the war.
Military officials say the Israeli Air Force “intercepted five launches that crossed from the north of the Gaza Strip” into Israel. The Jerusalem Post reported that two people were lightly injured after being hit with shrapnel.
“Sirens sounded in Israeli communities surrounding Gaza a few moments ago”, the IDF wrote on X. “At exactly this time last year, sirens were sounded all over Israel, marking the beginning of Hamas’ October 7 massacre.”
The Israeli military said prior to the attack, its troops “struck Hamas terror targets and launchers throughout the Gaza Strip” in order to thwart “an immediate threat.
