The armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Al-Quds Brigades, said it launched two rockets at Israel’s Netivot settlement on September 7 in retaliation for ongoing attacks in Gaza. Israel confirmed the strikes, claiming one rocket was intercepted while another landed in an open area. Sirens were triggered across nearby regions. The attack followed one of the deadliest Israeli assaults in days, leaving 83 Palestinians killed within 48 hours. Since October 2023, Gaza’s health ministry reports over 64,000 deaths.
