Two long-range rockets launched from Gaza at Jerusalem area

Two long-range rockets were launched from the northern Gaza Strip at the Jerusalem area a short while ago, the military says.

The IDF says it made attempts to intercept the rockets, but the results are still under investigation.

Sirens sounded in Beit Shemesh and numerous surrounding towns as well as in several communities near Gaza amid the attack.

There are no reports of injuries or major damage.

Long-range rocket fire from Gaza has become incredibly rare as the war has progressed, with Hamas’s launching capabilities severely hindered by the IDF’s ground offensive.

The IDF is currently carrying out a major operation in the Strip’s far north.
