IAF jets destroy Hamas launcher used to target Rishon LeTzion

The Hamas terrorist organization launched a rocket approximately 25 meters from the area of a school in Khan Younis toward Rishon LeTzion in central Israel on Sunday. IDF troops identified the source of the launch and directed the Israeli Air Force to precisely strike the launcher from which the rocket was fired, alongside additional terrorist infrastructure used by Hamas in the area, according to the IDF. Following the strike on the launcher, secondary explosions were identified, indicating the presence of additional rockets. Over the past day, IDF troops operating in the areas of Khan Younis and the outskirts of Deir El Balah eliminated dozens of terrorists and located large quantities of weapons, including explosives, AK-47s and mortar shells. In one incident, IDF troops eliminated a terrorist who fired an anti-tank missile toward them. No injuries were reported.
