A rocket from Gaza triggered sirens at Zikim Beach on the Gaza border on Tuesday morning, according to the Israeli military.

“Following the alert that was activated at 10:53 in the Zikim Beach area, the air force intercepted a single launch that crossed from the northern Gaza Strip,” said an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson.

There were no initial reports of injuries or damage.

A little over an hour after the alert, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson, Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee, posted an urgent evacuation notice to his X account for residents of areas in northern Gaza. He warned that the Israeli military would soon be “operating with very great force” against terrorist elements in the combat zones.

“The IDF will respond strictly to any terrorist act or rocket fire,” Adraee stated, advising noncombatants to head to shelters in Gaza City.

In a separate incident, the Israeli Air Force intercepted a hostile aerial target before it crossed into Israeli territory, according to the IDF.
“Protect British Jews against those who wish us harm,” said the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council.
The IDF eliminated terrorists in two separate incidents on Tuesday.
“People are being murdered because of antisemitism on American soil, and thousands more are threatened,” stated Jonathan Greenblatt, of the Anti-Defamation League.
