Overnight, Israeli fighter jets struck in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun launchers used by Palestinian terrorists to fire two long-range rockets at the Jerusalem area on Saturday, the military says.

There were no injuries or damage in Saturday’s rare long-range rocket attack from Gaza, as both projectiles were intercepted.

When the strike was carried out, another rocket had been loaded into one of the launchers, the IDF says, releasing an image showing the launchers before they were hit.

The rocket is seen flying out of the launcher following the strike, in a video published by the military.
