The Israel Defense Forces says troops located two rocket launchers and two makeshift projectiles near the northern West Bank settlement of Shaked.

Earlier today, a Palestinian group calling itself the Al-Ayyash Batallion claimed to have launched two rockets from the Jenin area at Shaked.

The IDF says sappers are at the scene investigating the rockets. The remains and the launchers are being taken for investigation.

“The rockets did not pose a threat to the residents” of Shaked, the IDF says.
