IDF: Rocket from Gaza aimed at Eilat exploded mid-air

Rocket sirens sounded in the Carmel region Wednesday afternoon on account of a rocket launched from Gaza that exploded in the air, the IDF said.

Hamas said it launched a rocket on Wednesday toward the southern Israeli resort city of Eilat, some 220 km (136 miles) from the Gaza Strip, and the Israeli military said there had been an impact in an outlying area.

There was no immediate word of any casualties in what appeared to be the longest-range Palestinian attack of the Gaza war raging since October 7.
