IDF soldiers of the 401st Brigade destroyed two launch sites in Rafah where terrorists had used to fire at Beersheba earlier on Friday afternoon, the IDF announced later that evening.
After destroying these sites, secondary explosions were detected, testifying to the presence of additional weapons stored at the site.
The IDF’s response came as a result of rocket fire targeting Beersheba, the first time Beersheba had heard rocket alerts in nearly five months. A total of 14 rockets were fired in the direction of Beersheba, all of which detected as being launched from Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, Maariv reported.
