Palestinian fighters in Gaza launched “a large salvo of rockets at Tel Aviv” yesterday, a move that demonstrates that armed groups fighting Israeli forces in the Palestinian territory “have retained some rocket capabilities … despite Israeli clearing operations”, war monitors said.

According to Al-Jazeera, the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and the Critical Threat Project (CTP) also said that Israeli forces intercepted and destroyed a loaded missile launcher in Gaza’s southern Khan Younis that was ready to fire missiles at Israeli territory.

Six additional attacks by Palestinian armed groups were also carried out on targets in Israel yesterday, including mortar shells fired at southern Israel’s Sufa area, the ISW/CTP said in its latest update on the war in Gaza.
