(Nov. 21, 2024 / JNS)
Sirens sounded on Thursday morning in the Gaza border community of Kerem Shalom due to a rocket launched from the Strip, according to the Israel Defense Forces. The rocket was successfully intercepted.
The kibbutz is located at the Gaza-Israel-Egypt border near the crossing of the same name.
While Hamas rocket fire has significantly decreased since the early days of the war as the IDF has severely degraded the terror group’s capabilities, it has not been eliminated.
A rocket from Gaza set off air-raid sirens in Kibbutz Erez on Nov. 13, impacting in an open area. No injuries were reported in that incident.
The community is located less than a mile from the Strip’s northern border and is the namesake of the Erez Crossing.
