A series of rocket barrages from Gaza targeted southern Israeli communities, including Beersheba, Ashkelon, and Sderot, over several days. The Israeli military reported multiple rocket launches from Rafah in Gaza, with some hitting open areas and others striking specific locations like the Dudaim waste facility near Beersheba. In response, Israeli aircraft targeted Hamas rocket launch positions in Rafah, leading to secondary explosions indicating the presence of additional munitions. The escalation has led to repeated activations of rocket sirens in these areas, marking a significant uptick in hostilities.
