There were no injuries or damage reported.
The al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, claimed responsibility for the attack.
Following the launch, the Israel Defense Forces’ Arabic-language spokesperson issued an urgent warning on social media, urging civilians in several northern Gaza neighborhoods to evacuate immediately.

🔴هذا انذار مسبق وأخير قبل الغارة!🔴

In his post, Avichay Adraee named Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, Sheikh Zayed, Al-Manshiya and Tel Al-Zaatar as areas from which “terrorist organizations are once again launching their rockets from among civilians.”
Describing the message as a “final warning before the airstrike,” Adraee stressed that the IDF had “warned this area multiple times” and called on residents to move “immediately west to the known shelter centers in Gaza City” for their safety.
