A rocket was launched from an area next to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis toward a corridor used to deliver humanitarian aid in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today, the IDF says.
According to the military, the rocket was launched while a convoy of trucks was heading toward Kerem Shalom Crossing to collect aid.
The military says the rocket struck some 300 meters from the route. No injuries were reported in the incident.
“The launch is yet another example of the ongoing attempts by the terrorist organization to systematically and brutally sabotage the passage of humanitarian aid by the international organizations and disrupt the distribution of humanitarian aid to Gazan civilians,” the IDF adds.
