A Palestinian group calling itself the Al-Ayyash Battalion claims to have launched two rockets from the Jenin area in the northern West Bank toward the settlement of Shaked.

A video published by the group on Telegram shows a projectile in a launcher but does not show it being launched.

The group has claimed to have launched several rockets at settlements and towns in northern Israel in recent months.

The attempts have largely failed, although security forces found remains of a rocket in the northern town of Ram-On last night.

The military is investigating the latest claim.
