Hamas Launches Rockets, Israel Responds with Airstrikes

On Tuesday, Hamas launched rockets from a humanitarian area in Gaza towards Tel Aviv, marking the first attack on the city since May. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported that one rocket landed in the Mediterranean Sea, while the other fell short in Gaza. In response, the IDF conducted airstrikes on terrorist targets adjacent to the launch site in Khan Yunis, emphasizing that these strikes were outside the humanitarian corridor. The IDF criticized Hamas for embedding military assets near civilian infrastructure, which poses risks to Gazan civilians. Over the past 24 hours, Israeli forces have targeted over 40 sites linked to Hamas, dismantling weapon caches and eliminating armed threats. Since the onset of hostilities on October 7, the IDF has treated over 10,000 soldiers for various psychological and physical injuries.
