The IDF says the Hamas terror group has fired at least 116 rockets from within the al-Mawasi designated “humanitarian zone” in southern Gaza toward Israel.
It says that 38 of the projectiles fell short in the Strip.
“Hamas continues to use the humanitarian zone to carry out terrorist activities, further endangering the lives of civilians in Gaza and the State of Israel,” the IDF says in a statement.
The humanitarian zone in al-Mawasi is an area designated by the IDF on October 18 as safe for civilians within the Gaza Strip, where shelter and aid can be found.
