Hours after the Air Force strikes targets in Gaza, several rockets were fired from the Strip at the Eshkol Regional Council. No injuries or damages have been reported. The residents have been instructed to stay indoors and avoid traveling on Road 232.

Palestinian sources reported that IDF tanks responded to the rockets by firing at the launching areas near Dahaniya International Airport in the southern Gaza Strip. They further reported that there is heavy helicopter aerial traffic east of the Raffah crossing and Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip. No injuries were reported.

Around 6pm, a Qassam rocket exploded in an open area near Sderot. There were no reports of injuries or damages. A Color Red alert sounded in the area.

Earlier on Sunday, the Air Force attacked terrorist targets in the southern Gaza Strip.

Palestinian sources reported that the target was a motorcycle carrying two Popular Resistance Committees members in the Tel Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah.

One of the riders was killed, while the other one injured, the sources said.

The IDF stated that the two were affiliated with the global jihadist movement. One of the terrorists, 22-year-old Ahmad Said Ismail who was injured in the attack, participated in a terror attack at the Israeli-Egypt border in June, which claimed the life of an Israeli citizen.

The man killed in the attack is 19-year-old Id Nadi Okhal from Rafah who was planning another terror attack against Israeli targets at the Egypt border and Sinai Peninsula along with other global jihadist movement members.
