Terrorist forces in the Gaza Strip launched three rockets into southern Israel in two separate attacks on Wednesday, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

On Wednesday morning, two rockets were fired. One of the projectiles was intercepted, while the other fell in the Zimrat area. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

The al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, claimed responsibility for the attack.

Following the attack, the IDF issued an urgent evacuation warning for parts of Gaza City.

In a post on X, IDF Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee shared a map of the affected areas, calling the notice a “final warning” before imminent airstrikes. The evacuation order applied to the neighborhoods of Zeitoun, Tel al-Hawa, Sheikh Ijlin and surrounding areas.

Residents were instructed to leave immediately via Al-Rashid Street and move south of Wadi Gaza to designated shelters. The IDF said that rockets were launched from within civilian areas and that it had previously warned residents multiple times.

On Wednesday night, the IDF announced that an interceptor was launched at one projectile that “crossed into the south of the country from the northern Gaza Strip.”

“The results of the interception are being examined,” added the military.

On Monday night, the IDF intercepted three rockets fired from Gaza. Islamic Jihad also claimed responsibility for that attack.
