Hamas Launches Rockets at Israel as New Year Begins

Hamas Meluncurkan Roket ke Israel Saat Tahun Baru Dimulai

Hamas fired more than 20 rockets at southern and central Israel as the country entered 2024, according to The Times of Israel.

The Iron Dome missile defence system intercepted most of them, and there were no reported injuries. Sirens could be heard in several places around the nation, including in Ashdod, Sderot, and other southern cities, as well as in Rehovot, Ness Ziona, Holon, Lod, and Modiin. Meanwhile, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) asked residents in many parts of central Gaza to leave immediately while its operations against Hamas continue.

The IDF urged people not to move along the central axis, the Salah Al-Din road, due to the fighting in the Khan Younis area of Gaza. The IDF also located and destroyed three terror tunnel shafts belonging to the Hamas terror organisation near the Rantisi Hospital and in the nearby High School on Wednesday.

The tunnel shafts that the Hamas fighters used are dozens of metres deep and are linked by an underground network that runs beneath the hospital and into Gaza City. According to the IDF, this operation revealed that the shafts are connected by a wide underground network passing under the hospital, spanning several kilometres, and leading to strategic points in the heart of Gaza City.
