The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported on Friday that a projectile launched from southern Gaza landed in an open area near the Israeli town of Kiryat Malakhi, located approximately 30 kilometers (18 miles) north of the Gaza Strip. Fortunately, there were no casualties or damage reported as a result of this incident.
Over the past few months, the frequency of rocket launches from Gaza has decreased significantly. The IDF noted that very few rockets have been able to reach such a considerable distance from the Gaza border, highlighting a shift in the pattern of attacks originating from the region.
Despite the relative decrease in rocket fire, the incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing tensions in the area and the potential threat posed by sporadic attacks. The IDF continues to monitor the situation closely and remains prepared to respond to any further escalations that may arise.
