Last night’s rocket fire from the Gaza Strip at southern Israel was carried out from close to humanitarian aid warehouses, the military says.

According to the IDF, the rocket launchers used to fire the two projectiles toward Ashkelon were positioned some 50 meters from warehouses used by international aid organizations operating in Gaza.

Overnight, Israeli fighter jets launched airstrikes in the area, targeting weapons depots and terror operatives, the military says.

The IDF issued evacuation warnings to civilians in the area before launching the strikes.
