Air raid sirens wailed across towns along the Gaza border, such as in Ashkelon and Sderot.
Initial reports indicated explosions had been heard in the area. Video footage surfacing on social media shows today’s rocket attack.
The Israeli military previously stated that its operation in Nablus, West Bank, on Wednesday killed only three people it called “terrorists”, who were part of a militant group that recently carried out shooting attacks on Israeli citizens.
However, the Israeli troops’ attacks continued and the death toll increased to 11 people.
The Israeli forces’ operation is reminiscent of a similar attack in January, marking one of the deadliest offensive operations in the West Bank.
