Israel Air Force fighter jets destroyed Hamas's rocket launching complex in the Shejaia neighborhood of Gaza City, which had launched two rockets towards Israeli territory hours earlier, the military said Sunday.
The rockets triggered sirens in Kfar Aza, Nahal Oz, and Saad in the Gaza border area.
A rocket reported impacted a barn in the Sdot Negev Regional Council, causing minor damage. No injuries were reported.
The IDF reviewed the incident; however, it did not say if the rockets were intercepted.
The military is set to widen its operations in Gaza City, a decision which has faced condemnation from many hostage families, Western, and Arab leaders. Hostage families argue that the widened operation puts hostages at risk.
Opposition to war plan
Several far Right members of Israel's cabinet argue that the operation does not go far enough and call for less humanitarian aid entry into Gaza, accompanied by an occupation throughout the Strip.
