Event

According to military officials, a rocket fired from Gaza toward southern Israel was intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system on Thursday evening (local time), November 14. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damages. The rocket triggered sirens in Israeli communities near the border with Gaza, notably in Kfar Maimon, Tushia, Alumim, Be'eri, and Nahal Oz. The incident comes amid a ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) which came into effect at 05:30 on Thursday.

Further cross-border fire is possible over the Israeli-Gazan border over the coming hours and days, including rockets fired by Palestinian militants toward and into Israel and retaliatory Israel Defense Forces (IDF) strikes on the Gaza Strip.

Context

Cross-border strikes significantly escalated on November 12 after the IDF targeted PIJ Al-Quds Brigade commander Bahaa Abu Al-Ata in a precision strike at his residence in the Shejaiyah area of Gaza. According to the IDF, Al-Ata was imminently planning to launch an attack against Israeli citizens and soldiers. Al-Ata has been accused of organizing hundreds of attacks in Israel and developing the rocket capabilities of the PIJ in the Gaza Strip.

Advice

Individuals in Israel and the Palestinian Territories are advised to monitor developments to the situation and adhere to instructions issued by local authorities and their home governments. Seek immediate shelter in the event of a rocket attack.

Some Western governments advise their citizens against all travel to the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and areas near the Israeli-Lebanese, Israeli-Syrian, and Israeli-Egyptian borders.
