Hamas launched a rocket at one of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s aid distribution sites in the southern Gaza Strip last night, the military says.

According to the IDF, the rocket was launched from Khan Younis toward the area of the GHF sites in Rafah. The projectile impacted some 250 meters from one of the aid sites, close to the army’s Morag Corridor, it says.

The aid site opened for Palestinians to collect food packages today despite the attack.

The IDF says the rocket attack “adds to the attempts by the terror organizations, who operate cruelly and systematically, to sabotage the aid distribution sites program… while attempting to disrupt the distribution of humanitarian aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip.”
