Two Hamas rocket launch positions in southern Gaza’s Rafah, used to attack Beersheba earlier today, were struck by Israeli aircraft a short while ago, the military says.

The IDF says it identified secondary blasts after the strike, indicating additional munitions were located in the area.

Hamas launched a total of 14 rockets at Beersheba today, nine rockets from Rafah and before that another five from central Gaza.

The attack caused damage to a park in the city, and lightly wounded a woman.
