The Israel Defense Forces confirms Palestinians in the northern West Bank attempted to launch rockets at Israeli towns this morning.

The IDF says one of the rockets landed in Palestinian-controlled territory in the northern West Bank. The second apparently failed to launch, footage showed.

“The rocket did not pose a threat to communities in the area,” the IDF says.

No injuries or damage are caused.

The military says forces reached the scene of the launch near the West Bank city of Jenin and launched searches for the suspects.
